Title: Original FE "Westminster" Carpet
Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on May 15, 2012, 02:26:30 PM
Does anyone have a patch of original FE carpet that they can get to me?
I have had some enquiries but cannot research products any further without making comparisons.
Any help or leads appreciated.

Graham,

Can you post pic before you send it?

I think the carpet in the back of mine may be original but I'm not sure. Does it look kind of ribbed?

Stinky,

I have some in red. Not much left but enough to send you a couple of pieces about an inch by 2 inch. Where do I send it?

  Ive looked at some similar at bunnings not a tile though, comes by the metre on a roll. couple of different colours. I have thought about grabbing some of the light blue and dyeing it green for my fe.

Im sure leon sourced some from the UK for his green fe.

I was thinking of the tiles for my garage floor, under the FE. But only if I could get the original carpet again for the interior. Then it would kinda match.
