Title: Rubber floor lining Post by: Jodstar on October 11, 2003, 08:48:56 AM I have recently bought an FC wagon in very original condition,
so original, it had the original rubber floor lining. I have since removed it due to it's worn condition,but was wondering if anyone knows of any reproductions? ???

These are a VERY good repro and worth the money.
They advertise each month in Unique Cars, just at the end of the colour section. Cheers, Craig. Title: Re: Rubber floor lining Post by: fe2ek on October 11, 2003, 07:11:07 PM Anyone know if you can colour these repro rubber floor linings?

Title: Re: Rubber floor lining Post by: RET on October 14, 2003, 03:10:36 AM You can - Graham Pryce added the FC "speckle" to his, and it looks very good indeed.
gp - any tips on how to do it? cheers RET Title: Re: Rubber floor lining Post by: gp on October 14, 2003, 07:31:10 PM Yes I did add the speckle to mine and (thankfully) it turned out quite good. I practiced on the back of my old floormat first, to see how it went. Very importantly, clean the new floormat thoroughly before you start (from memory I scrubbed mine with prepsol). I then used about a 1" or 2" paintbrush, dipped it in the paint, held it upside down (bristles pointing up) and flicked it with my finger until I had the desired result. I was VERY nervous about stuffing it up, but as Richard said, it turned out very good.
Hope this helps. Cheers, Graham. Title: Re: Rubber floor lining Post by: fe2ek on October 14, 2003, 07:39:38 PM Do you know if they can be painted a colour.I have an EK and it is painted blue and I would like to match it.Mine is not in a speckle finish.

That would be a very hard thing to do. Firstly, trying to find a vinyl paint that will work, then trying to match it to your colour. I am not sure if you realise, but the floormats in the FB's & EK's were not fully coloured. All black, some got the speckles. The EJ started the fully coloured mats. Send me an email (to Remind me) & I will look up the details in my EK master parts catalogue. Rob J |
