Carpet Kit, molded or not molded ?

[oukippy]

Hi,

 

I am working on the 510 interior. I have found two possible carpet kits:

I don’t have experience with molded ones. Is it better or not ?

 

Thank you,

 

Ouki

 

PS: I tried to contact 71Dimer but he didn’t answer so I assume he is not selling his carpet kit.

I am curious on how a molded carpet works on a 510 since a factory carpet is mostly just matts being joined together by dirt and gravity

I bought 3 sets not moulded from a fella on ebay his name on the listing was I believe Browns Street Auto or something like that. He was a ok fella to deal with. I'm not sure if he's still doing them I'll look up info when I get back in town.

His user name seems to have changed, but his listings are still the same.

 3 sets so I assume you were happy with the product?

Did you put some sound deadening materials too? I'm checking for its comaptibility with it.

 

Thank you anyway !

Do Not, I Repeat Do Not Buy A So Called Molded Carpet Kit. If you have instagram check out Chuck from left coast Datsun in Long Beach California, he might have some kits available.

I have them at my building but have not used them yet , the fellow who I got them from had some Datsun 510's and sent me some pics of the interior with the kits he sent me and they looked great.

Troy Ermish has a nice looking carpet set.  We bought one for a customer car, but haven't installed it yet.  For those with Wagon's, he DOES offer a matching rear deck section, but it is not listed on his website.
