Go easy with the stanley knife there are looms that run on the passenger side of the transmission tunnel and looms that run from the back of the transmission tunnel to both 'B' posts!!!!!

i didn't have any carpets in my disco,
it was generally in free flodo on events so they were forever ringing wet

to behonest, i didn't really notice a great dal of difference in noise, the exhasut had no silencers at all, so that covered up most noises

i guess it would be noisier in a more std car

--- Quote from: "spy" ---Seen as I dont seem to be having much luck with my dirty old disco on ebay I have decided its time to get on with sorting it out.  

How difficult is it to remove the carpets?  I know there are two plastic strips sort of above each sill thet need to come up but what else?  

Has anyone taken them out cleaned them and refitted without too much grief?  

Thanks,

Mike

PS. Yes they are too bad to clean in situe, think I really need to jetwash the mud off!

Have you thought of putting Rubber mattng in it instead of carpet. you could clean the floor and paint it with car underseal. them using a good contact adesive glue a 1/2"-3/4" foam rubber mat (not sponge based foam) to the floor. Then lay a thin rubber mat over the top (use old carpet for template) Water ingress would no longer be a problem. Obviously you need to seal all the edges & joints completly and seal foam to floor with 100% glue coverage. If you just stick the edges, water will be trapped
under it and rot the floor.

Machine Mart do various styles of rubber matting.

defuzz:
i wonder if theres a rubberised paint we could use instead?

I know Plasti-cote does something like this, would it work on a large scale and reisit the wear and tear?

hobbit:
industrial floor paint, you can get it with anti-slip properties too
