Rich Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hello all, Ive just received my new carpets for the vitesse, my question is for the sill carpets, is there supposed to be a retainer type bar with screws which hold the carpet in place by the sills? There seems to be some small holes which look like they take a self tapper but i'm not to sure. If there is supposed to be some retainer type fitments any idea where I can get them from? Thanks in advance Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve C Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Indeed there are. There should be an extruded aluminium retaining strip on each side, held in place with self-tappers. Try Spitfire Graveyard or one of the various breakers out there on Fleabay to source a pair. They polish up well enough, but avoid heavy corrosion/scarring if you are looking for a concours finish. Tip for fitting is to use a thin electrical terminal screwdriver to "feel" for where the hole is before fitting the screws. This will show you what angle you are going in at - they rarely line up square. Nice new shiny screws with heads all lined up, and you will be ready for the judges! Good luck Steve C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
