    Who makes the best custom fit carpets for old Fords?

    Need a tailored carpet set for my mk1. It's not 4-linked or anything like that, so other than a big tunnel for the T5 box, it's essentially standard inside. I want a really good carpet set - who does the best ones?

    All these ones on Ebay look pretty much the same - I don't want to take a risk on something that takes 4 weeks to arrive, only for it to be crap. Looking for something nice, with a deep pile and tailored to suit the big tunnel. Who's the best bet?

    think you have just said it,big tunnel for a T5 so non of the std sets will fit right and look right, theres few small business take your car in and do a bespoke fit for not silly money just depends on how good you want your car to look.mines not brilliant and its standard fit.

    As above none of the new ones seem to fit well at all especially if you have a non standard tunnel. If you want a decent fit do as Mark suggested and get a bespoke one made to fit. Although Trev@stage1 did mention he may be getting decent fitting ones made at some point but probably not for non standard tunnels as there are so many variations.

    Been in touch with Coverdale carpets who seem to make top end stuff for TVR's, Jags and the like. They were very helpful but said that I'd have to send them a template of the two footwells and the tunnel itself, as they couldn't alter their pattern based on measurements alone.

    Seems like I might have to just give it a go myself.
