My Clipper needs new carpeting in the cab. I would love to get the original color so it matches the door panels which have a little patch of carpet on them.
The color appears to be something between burnt orange and dirty mustard. I'm sure there is a far better name for the actual color than that :)
Has anyone bought replacement carpet that:
a) is the original color
b) actually fit. I notice some of the companies that offer B300 molded carpeting state that it may not fit "van conversions or RVs.
Thank you,
Neal
Hi Neal,
Where Do You Live.
I Have A Guy Who Use To Work On The Cozy Vans Of The 1970's
He Has A Shop in San Jose, Ca.
Most Of The Cab Carpet Was House Carpet & Auto Gray Pads They Had A Bead Of Material Sew'n Into Edge To Keep From Coming Apart.
Next Time I Talk To Armondo I'll Ask Him If He Has Any Old Carpet Left. He Has A lot In His Old Shop.
If You Join Clipper Club You Can Post A Photo & I Can Show My Guy To Match It.
What Year Is Your Clipper? I See Its 1978 Bunk House.
Mine is A 1977 & Is Orange / Brown. & The Same Carpet On Back Panels Behind Seats..
Joe
Thanks Clipper Joe!
Indeed, my carpet has that nice vinyl material sewn along the carpet edge.
Here's a sample of the unfaded carpet from the door panel and links to carpets from two vendors.
If the color of the vendors' samples are true, the 4645 Mandarin Orange and 8296 Nutmeg are real close.
