The Lotus Grand Tourers

I have had a set of carpets on order from a well known supplier of Lotus parts down south for some time now. But when I chase them up I am getting a blank on their arrival t8me (ordered and paid for some eleven weeks ago now). While I accept there will be a lead time it’s now getting silly and initially was not holding the car up, but as I amd now at the stage of wanting to put the dash back in its really holding things up, so are there any suppliers with a short reliable (or even long reliable!) lead time on carpet sets?

I got a set last year direct from Coverdale, website carcarpets.co.uk

I haven't got round to fitting them yet so don't know how easy that job will be, but quality looks OK and they delivered 3 weeks after I placed my order.

Cheers John

If using Coverdale check my thread and make sure if they are for an Excel they’ve sent them to the correct specification.

I have a set that came with a car and believe they are Coverdale, they match the shapes I've come to expect, and for the treasons that Alan has shown, I plan to get a set from a person who makes carpets for Esprits but as yet doesn't have a set of Excel to make the patterns from (I will have to remove mine and send to him).

My carpets finally arrived, they are mostly fitted now and I am looking at the rear parcel shelf wondering if it will come out for the new to go in.. But I have what may be a silly question.. what size are the self tapping screws that hold the interior together? My car arrived with most of the interior in place but none of it was screwed together, some of the screws were in a tin, but very few of them and they are all rusty.. and I need them for the doors, seats and dash (which seem to be smaller?) I may be able to drive it soon if I can get it all together.
