carpet pre 74 and post 74 differ?

Post by Bertroex »

Hello all,


Andy is offering a perlon carpet set for a 911 up to 1974. I am interested in it but umm can anyone confirm whether it will fit a 1976 911?

Bootsmeister, didnt your yellow affair had its carpets changed? :P


Thanks in advance for your reactions.

The only difference from 73 to 74 was the deisgn of the driver's fllor mat, becoming 2 part in 74. Thet are interchangeable.

When Newton Commercial did the carpets in my '74, they went to use an early set and there was a small difference around the passenger footwell (early carpet simply didn't fit up under the dash at all). The seat mounting points were different lengths, too, requiring a small mod to make the floor carpets fit.

I'm currently using an early rear seat deletion kit in a later car and there is a fairly big difference around the rear tubs. Nothing a bit of extra upholstering can't solve though!
