Carpet protector

[DART66GT]

What do you guys think a carpet protector is worth?

 

[GaryS]

When I replaced my carpet this time, I ordered the matching carpeted front and rear floor mats for my '64 Valiant convertible. I don't know if they will be worth the sixty-some dollars I paid, but we'll see.

If you are talking about a clear vinyl, or rubber mat, I don't have any idea of a fair price, but I wouldn't want one. If the carpet gets really nasty looking, or faded, I'll replace the carpet. That's what I just did with my 5-year-old carpet.

$1,000,000.03

If you are talking about the stainless piece for a 4 speed I paid 40 for the last one I bought but have seen them as low as 20 so it depends on how much someone actually wants to pay.

 

[DART66GT]

It is the stainless steel one. thanks for the replies

 

[pishta]

Dont know, how much is the carpet worth?

 

[Dartnut]

I don't understand the question.....
How about some pics?

 

[Valiantsignet20]

Too many automatic drivers on here I guess. I agree with chryslerfat. About 40.

I've driven both for 40 years and don't have a clue what a "carpet protector" is?!? Are you talking about floor mats?!? If you are, then I'm interested. I have new carpet also and am looking for some reasonable and tasteful floor mats. If not, then please explain.

The EARLY-A,s had a stainless carpet protector located on the hump beside the accelerator pedal to protect the carpet. You have been driving the wrong a-body for 40 years.:iconbigg: It looks like this and is a pain in the a#$ to put on with little brass washers that hold the tabs in place.

I had a 65 Barracuda for a couple years, but I don't remember seeing that piece!! Got any pictures of one installed?!?

Here's a pic I snagged of Moparlee's '64 Valiant. You can see it behind the wires. Best I could find for now.

Whoa, never seen one of those myself. Thanks for the pic. Learned something new today...

Anyone know of a source for a repro of the Stainless Floor Protector?

 

[bruceo2011]

I believe the plate was specific to the early a-bodies with the 4 speed option. Only one I ever saw was on a buddies early '65 cuda with the 4 speed. The hump is very close to the go pedal.

Can anyone furnish a few dimensions for the protector plate?

I've got one in a box in my garage. I'll try to get some pics and dimensions off it this weekend.

Here is one I saved from a 65 Signet hardtop slant 6 4 speed I parted out.

 

[DonPal]

Thanks for the dimensions & especially the upside down picture.

The dimension along the diagonal crease would also be helpful....Don
