What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[David.H]

Making up rubber floor mats for Chitti (1932 AG tourer) An interesting exercise in multi dimensional thinking (for me anyway!) Really a case of measure twice & then again. I am using 4mm thick fine ribbed rubber. I will have a go at making the mat for the tunnel out of three sections & attempt to superglue them together. As the TR register said about removing rear spring eyes by threading a 3/8 bolt into the hole provided in the eye "only an optimist will attempt this method...."
I will put some canvas type backing on the blind side of the mats around slots, holes etc. My old Frogeye had this on it's mats (as original) and it gave useful support.
What to do about the running boards? The car is 6ft3" wheelbase, so Chummy type aluminium "pads" could be fitted, but there are mysterious 1/4" holes in the running board (one each side) almost under the A post...what was that for?..
When I got it, it had (very) home made rubber mats glued to the boards.
