original jute material

[Taz0162]

So what happened to this thred? what was the consensus for a viable place to order Jute that can be cut to the correct shape as needed? are there measurements of the patterns used somewhere?

Hello guys and gals... here attached please find a 2-page PDF template of the rear tool box area for a Series I 240Z. Each page contains a left and right pattern. It has been test-fitted and is very accurate. Enjoy...

redzedsled,

Thanks! Can this be used for making a carpet piece? Does anyone know if the carpet needs to be a little bigger than the jute so it hides the jute underneath it?

No this will not make the carpet template, it was much different. The later model Series II used a two-piece jute whereupon the other piece went directly under the seat and the other piece went in behind the seat. In the 70-71 pattern it was a one-piece unit which went under the seats and behind and around the plastic tool box doors directly behind the seat. This of course is where the jack and tools were stored on the early cars. The jute was definitely "undercut" smaller such that the carpet would not show the jute underneath. I am sure there are other message threads with respect to Series I carpet reference pics, but please see attached as an example...

Jute in Serial No 4684:

This is the earliest VIN jute photo I have found. 

Baring any other information, I will create my template based on the above.

Kats,

Are you aware of any JDM floorboard stamping that would necessitate the jute cutouts indicated by the red circles in the photo below?

Thanks,

Keith
