Time to remove the carpet from the old wallboard backing and install it on new correct backing boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

New backing board test fitted. The boards are made from pressed wood (?) fibre and fairly rugged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In my case the backing board mounting holes were a bit off on the passenger side. I needed to punch new holes in all three locations. I had earlier replaced the plastic inserts that receive the board screws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I used this heavy duty Lepage contact cement to attach the old carpet to the new panels. Once stuck onto the backing I put weights on the backing to keep on some pressure to help the glue to stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The backing boards are a little below the groves in the console and parking brake cover. The carpet is mounted a little above the backing boards and the extra carpet is tucked in the groves. The gaps in the carpet are hidden by the seat. A new carpet set would fit nicer I would hope, but that’s down the road a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time to get the seats back in. I prefer to be a little less reclined when driving so I fashioned blocks from square steel tubing. They are 1″ square with holes to take longer mounting bolts. I may increase them to 2″. If I do I’ll need to fashion wedges for the front mounting points so as not to bend the seat tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drivers seat back in place. Seems OK, but driving will be the final test for the lift blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I won’t be putting the right side carpet panel and seat in place until I get an antenna extension cable that’s on order. I can only access the radio antenna connection with the seat and panel removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next I’ll be bleeding the front brakes and getting the engine ready for starting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
