Alex, most FIA cars are Unique or ERA. These companies have a local upholstery shop make up kits from their patterns. If your car is a Unique, Allan Weaver, one of the owners would probably supply just the trunk portion of the kit. Suspect ERA would do the same. I have run with a couple of FIA boys both of which own Unique Cars. The Weavers support their cars the best of any. The last car that I completed a carpet kit was purchased. $ wise a tick high, however, time wise a good bet. In addition it allows a pattern should replacement be required. Personally I use contact cement out of the can applied with a disposable brush. Once the carpet is placed on the adhesive I use a roller to form it. The roller can be purchased from Lowe's in the wall paper department. There are two kinds, get the sturdy metal shaft one. You will enjoy the new ride. The FIA's are nimble. Colin
