![]() ![]() As there are two screw locations on one side and only a single location on the other, it's easy to spot which piece of carpet goes where. With the transmission tunnel dealt with, and arguably the hardest part out of the way, I moved on to the twin rear sections. Once I had the centre of the tunnel in place and the backing paper completely removed, I once again carefully pushed down one side at a time untilo both sides were firmly in place. From there I aligned the extra piece on one side (That goes into the side of the depression near the back of the seat location.) Once happy that the piece was straight, I slowly pulled the backing towards the back of the tunnel, underneath the carpet, lightly pushing down as I went to fix it in place. There is also a semi-circular piece which completes the circle around the screw location for the speakers. This was stuck down starting from the centre of the tunnel near the join. Happy with the first piece, I removed a strip of the backing for the rest of the transmission tunnel where the join would connect to the piece already laid. Satisfied with it so far, I proceeded to stick the rest of this piece down, gently adding pressure from the middle to each side in turn to push any bubbles out to the edge and keep the carpet flat. Once I had a good idea of the fit and location, I removed the backing paper and stuck the carpet down in the middle - once again checking the alignment as I went. This can be aligned by the large hole for the screw and the small hole for the alignment pin attached to the speaker box. The first piece of the carpet to go down is the front of the transmission tunnel. ![]() ![]() This ensured that there was no oily residue or particles to affect the bond. First I removed the accessories from the floor and cleaned the surface with a piece of kitchen towel. This is set out in the positions they will go down, covering the transmission tunnel, the two sides of the rear, and the driver and passenger sides. ![]() Hold on to your lugnuts, it's time for an overhaul! I have received my latest order from Mike Lane. However, in line with a favourite film of mine. I just call for a refund of my money and cancel the subscription, probably ending up selling what I have done so far for a reduced price on-line. I will therefore require a refund of the remainder of my annual subscription. This means I will end up paying more, but I will be able to call for extra deliveries and therefore get caught up to where the early subscribers are. If things are no better after the holidays, I will seriously consider my options. I hope that things go smoother once that has been confirmed - otherwise I may just see if I can change to a monthly subscription despite the increased cost to see if that makes things go a bit smoother (and if I do, I will see if I can get immediate deliveries to get caught up again). I will check that my payment has been taken just after the 18th, as suggested when I called CS last. Once we have the rear floor next month, I will drop the jump seat, but don't want to at the moment in case it gets knocked and damaged. The seat is then attached via screws on each side at the back, forming a hinge to allow the seat to fold up against the back. Place the foot rest support into the channel in the hinge, then screw the hinge to the underside of the seat with the bar at the front. This is what the seat looks like once the cover is secured. Ensure that the connectors go through the holes in the flexible seat cover, and fold the tabs over the rigid plastic as before. The seat is produced the same way as we have made the previous seat parts. This will then provide the pivot for the actual seat. The lower frame is attached to the back panel underneath the seat back. The seat back is then attached to the back panel. The flexible part is, as before, held over the rigid component with flanged screws through the tabs. The flexible part with the holes goes with the rigid part with the tubular connections for screws, and these make the base of the seat. Take care to match these components, they are the square ones without the holes in two sides. Once again we assemble the seat back from a foam insert, flexible cover, and rigid plastic back. This stage we build and install the first jump seat. ![]()
