It's not about being cheap or expensive, my less than satisfactory review was to help other 411 owners, i would hope after reading, they wouldn't make the same mistake I did by purchasing from jc whitney. My opinion is to use your own original carpet as a templet and do it yourself because there is no other off the shelf alternative to this kit. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 This is what I did with my 710 sedan. Used the stock as templates on some closed pile area rug on sale. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I singed the edges with a candle to prevent unraveling. The originals were in good shape but sun faded and stained. Could not find black carpet. This was dark chocolate on a maroon paint car and white interior black dash. 1 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Save that Borg Warner M35 transmission and the gear shift hardware and sell later to someone looking to rebuild his or her original. The steering wheel upper cover with gear shift identification is also a rare part. The WRL and RL engines have an add on socket on the engine block to accommodate the BW shift mechanism. One of the reasons for the engine ID number to have a "1" first digit. There is also a fitting on the front frame to accept the outboard end of the shift shaft. My M35 has lasted 52 years but I have a complete rebuild kit just in case. 3 Quote Link to comment

I think they were going to give it to someone who needed a spare? 2 Quote Link to comment

Also on the NICO site "Arizona Hit Man" has a rebuilt BW M transmission for sale [or at least as of last year]. Has new bands which the rebuild kit lacks [but claims not necessary to change].

Now for some porthole wheel covers and it will be perfect ! The Carson CA warehouse used to have many of them but they were among the first things trashed when Renault got its fingers into the supply chain. Quote Link to comment
