1973 Carpet Install Sequence
 

Hello,

I am looking for guidance on the install sequence of the carpet pieces for my 1973 911T.
Is the layout in the photo correct?
Can anyone with experience possibly assign a number to the pieces with the correct install sequence?

Thanks for any help!

Dont think it matters much as long as the nice edges are on the outside and rough edges are tucked under. I put down some sound insulation first. Makes it a bit nicer.

I'm wanting to do that on my '73 too. There are tons of posts & tips but I'm not clear on how many really relate to the LWB cars...

There was also a guy who used a 'green' adhesive and saved his liver...

2 things I think I recall...

1. work from back to front

2. the door pockets are tricky

I bit late, but this was a sequence I found somewhere. It helped and it does matter which you do 1st if you don't want to end up redoing it a couple times.

Where did you source your interior?

This is late to the game too, but for anybody with the carpet sequence question later on, this might help.

I did this job last year. Real PITA. The sequence in the drawing above is correct, although you can deviate a little where the pieces don’t overlap. Also, the front panels with the map pockets may be in pretty good shape. I left mine alone, and figure I can replace them later if I get motivated. There’s only about an inch of overlap between that piece and the piece along the side longitudinal.

You will need to use a heat gun liberally to mold the pieces around the bends and curves. This is the part that’s a PITA. And you’ll get blisters in your fingers from pulling and stretching the carpet as you heat and fit it.

I did custom carpet last year and used snaps where I could instead of glue. so much easier to access the tunnel etc as a result
