How to make a carpet kit - Home Built Datsun 240z part 92 

Carpet looks great! I second the velcro suggestion should work nicely not too much work.

I’ve used Velcro type with adhesive layer, it worked great. You can try to make carpet stiffer with a butyl paint (underbody sealant), but test it first

Really, really enjoyed this episode Jeff!! Looks like upholstery work is your forte (with that gazillion dollar machine). Five thumbs up!!!!! Tiger.

Electronic ignition system Jeff?? Making mirror images sucks..I always do that with sound deadening by mistake.....The rally boost tank was sneaky and one I haven't heard of before.

Carpet looks great with the alcantara edges 👍🏼

We've all done the mirror image trick. Upholstery is looking great man. To fix the carpet to the floor what about black anodised press studs with the underside riveted to the floor.

Gotta admire your attention to detail. You really put some love and care on your cars mate. I would recommend putting those tabs or pins or something to hold the carpets in place.. Especially the drivers carpet.. You can easily hide the attachments under the seat.. I'm having trouble with my daily mercedes that the drivers floor mat keeps moving forward and messing with the clutch pedal..

Buy some stiff underlay and glue to the back of the carpet. It will hold the carpet in place, stop it wrinkling up from use, and keep the corners down. Love your work, Jeff!

Who wants more the car finish: Mr Jeff or Ms Jeff?

Sewing is the most underrated skill ever!

I’ve never used one, but I believe most machines have a foot which folds the edging on as you go. It’s a conical shaped thing, looks pretty neat.

My Beema uses heavy duty Velcro tabs on the front floor mats which keeps them from slipping.

Note to self: Don't fall asleep during playback. It's now marked the entire series as watched and I don't know where I was up to!

How about magnets? Strong enough to hold down the carpet but easily enough to take out? Maybe you dont have to punch clips into the carpet for the trunk? Hope that makes sense.

Be careful with those rakes hung on the wall in the background! I bumped one of mine and it fell down and gouged my car.

My factory '68 carpet is held in with button style snaps.

If I may ask...How much did this entire restoration cost from a to z? How much did you sell the car for?

So much more interesting than watching Tavarish, Geoff actually works on his cars.

Man, the Datsun is looking GOOOOD. Can't wait to see it on the road.

Press studs or velcro for keeping your nice new carpet in place.

Where is the Porsche engine?

Hi Mr and Mrs Jeff, only just come across your channel and I have to say it's fantastic. The way you pass on your information and explanations are some of the best I have found on RU-vid. Being a fellow Aussie and a lifelong 'Z' fan, the rebuild is fascinating viewing. Your detailed information coupled by great little segments by Mrs Jeff at the end really deserve great praise hence my comment. Keep up the great work, can't wait for the road test!!

You should look into getting a gas strut support clamp to hold the back hatch open without the need for a stick.The car is looking great. Are you going to get a replacement fuse panel for it, like the Porsche?

Giday Jeff. Get some Velcro dots and stitch to carpet and contact adhesive to body. It’s getting so close to driving 👍🏻

I love you and your skill Mr jeff...in other words I appreciate you because you are 100% complete....i will always follow you because ur skill give me joys,#hwiwishibecomeurapprentice

Hey man, great job! As usual I loved the video ! Great progress ! I'm really happy that the engine is running and the car looks almost finished. BTW, is there any progress on the Porsche engine ? As always, regards from Sofia, Bulgaria :)

That diamond stitching is rad!

Great video man. Keep killing it. Love your attention to detail. I’m jealous of your garage

G'day Jeff reckon you will both need a new set of sunglasses for the maiden voyage down the road you choose. Broom broom noises coming to the screen soon folks😉😊👍👍

Great job Jeff. One of the things I really appreciate is your

I think Velcro might do the trick - used on Aircraft to keep carpet and seat covers in place, it works very well speaking from about 10 years of experience changing the dam things after they were soiled on rough flights.

Nice work again Jeff

Can you steam clean the carpets and lay them in to form shape in the car?

Mr Jeff, is there anything you can't do? :D

they look nice alcantara thing is a good idea but where is the blue stiching to match the car???? and update´s on the porsche?? regards Sören

Jeff, what about putting a thin hard board under the back carpet to keep it flat? Shaped like the carpet. Keep up the good work. PS, any update on the Porche engine?

What do you dislike more, sanding or wiring? I’m one of those weird guys that likes wiring but I can’t stand sanding!

Is there anything you have not mastered in the automotive world? Thanks for another great video.

Coming along nicely Jeff. Your getting your moneys worth out of that sewing machine.

Interior is looking neat youre a dab hand with the sewing machine

Carpet looks get! You make that stuff look so easy!

+1 for velcro its a magical product

Pop the carpets in the sun for 5 mins to soften and flatten them before you go down the fixing route, cheaper option 👍🏻

Velcro tape.

I would cut some thin hardboard to shape for the trunk (maybe in 3 pieces) and glue the carpet to that. It will span the spare tire, so you can put stuff on it without sinking, and keep the carpet nice and flat. Only cut the board in pieces, and use the carpet as a hinge to fold it over for installation and removal
