Rear hatch Jute? (carpet insulation)

[Royce]

Howdy folks,

Anybody know for sure if the series I or series II 240Z's came with insulation under the hatch carpet? I am checking this for a Z bud that hasn't made it to this site yet, but I am pointing him in the right direction. Mine was replaced with aftermarket carpet so long ago that I don't remember. The microfiche doesn't show any part number for the early cars so I am thinking there wasn't any!

Thanks!

I don't recall any when I think of lifting the carpet to get into the storage boxes on my 73.My aftermarket carpet has it attached to the carpet.I think the screws that attach the luggage straps would have been longer if padding was factory.Just a guess.Have fun! Daniel

Thanks for the response. That's the way I remeber it too! I also now have aftermarket carpet with insulation attached to the back. I was hoping to get a few more answers so I can give my friend a confident anwswer. Anyone else?
