<VV> Carpet question...

[J R Read_HML]

LES...  SFAIK, the original carpet had a jute underlayment (separate from 
the carpet).  Most of the carpets available today are "molded" to fit the 
car and have the jute backing attached.  So, unless you are a purist on 
"original", I don't think you will need the original jute underlayment.

Later, JR
