mats or carpets in 1932 austin7 - buzz321hawks - 09-12-2017

I have just bought a 1932 Austin7 RN and would like to have some covering on the floor.Are carpets or mats best and where Would I get them from.Also any recommendations for a workshop manual.

Welcome to the world of Austin 7's.

As an RN owner, I believe that they were originally fitted with rubber mats rather than carpet. Ours has and we get on with them fine.

Ultimately, it's your car and you can decide what suits you.

Regarding a workshop manual, I recommend "Woodrow". They can still be bought new. Also Tony Betts posted that he had one for sale this week.

Good luck.

As suggested above by Alan, Tony Betts of 7 County Austins mentioned on the forum the other day that he had a very good S/H copy of Doug Woodrow's - Austin Seven Workshop Manual for sale - contact Tony at: http://www.7ca.co.uk

David Cochrane of Austin 7 Components stocks them new - see under his 'Books' section in the link below - part number BT802.

The Seven Workshop stocks rubber mats that will fit your car.

I believe De luxe RN's had rubber mats but the transmission tunnel was covered in in edged carpet,at least mine had but now the front part has rotted/disintegrated away.
Have you tried Simon at A7 trimming ?

In 2005 I helped exhume a de lux RN saloon which had been dry stored since 1960, this had a moulded rubber cover over the transmission tunnel.
