AK carpet set with Cobra stitching

[Mike Hamblin]

Finished carpet set for my AK
I made a couple changes from the first design.

They fit perfect.

I think I will just use Velcro to secure them, or carpet tape.
I don't think they will need solid fittings to hold them in position.
Time will tell.

Finally got round to making my carpet set template.
As it turns out the passengers side is just the reverse of the drivers side all the sizes match.
That makes it even easier for anyone to make a set.
Will see what my trimmer comes up with next.
Sizes on my template photo if anyone wants to check against their car.
Main difference would be the length depending on if you have seat runners fitted or not.

Mike ,

Interested to see what prices come back from Smiffy's Auto Upholstery.

The carpet material used makes a big difference. Almost double the cost going wit a high quality 80 wool.
The quality of there work looks very good. Most will want a template and where your fixing holes or thetype of fixings required. Its is a bespoke service as some times seat positions if bolted down can interfere with the carpet size.

Just had a reply from a local guy in Somerset.
He is willing to look at making sets of matts for us
He will use my AK cobra to make a template and go from there.
Its not going to happen quick so please bear with me, as work and holiday commitments etc
This will be more of a winter project
Photo attached, This is just an example of his work.
He also does soft tops. Tonnue covers, and interior trim.
He is currently working on my soft top.

Classic cobra interiors do carpet sets,  as do intatrim, but not sure about the details or logo.
Worth asking.
They were at Newark kit car show.
Worth a shout.
Claasic cobra interiors are in nottingham (arnold ares I think)

I have a requested a quote form inatrim, to see if they can do sets with or without heal pad and logo etc. I'm guessing they farm carpet making or supplying to a third party, but will see where it goes.

Has anyone ever found or had made a nice set of black matts with colour edging for an AK cobra, and the cobra logo, A fair few have asked on different media platforms,  I wonder if its worth getting a pattern sent around to check a standard size will fit most AK builds, and then place an order for a few sets.

Your thoughts and suggestions

I say go for it Mike!
