Interesting that he told me over two years ago that the 4 door moulds were 'almost complete'...
I've stopped holding my breath on this one.

Hi all and thanks for the interest with the carpet sets.
It is only through this interest that we have been able to justify the expense of making moulds from scratch and undertaking these once more.
Sorry this has been a drawn out process but we had to be a little careful not to over extend ourselves, had trouble with previous suppliers (who destroyed previous moulds) and then made a very popular product ( Jaguar carpet sets) and were swamped with orders.
We also had a problem with our council and had to get rid of our donor 4 door unfortunately.
So now we have the 2 door sets almost ready to go and the 4 door ones not far away.
We have yet to finalise final pricing but that will happen soon.
We will have two versions with and without the 4 speed lever cover to allow for different gearbox configurations.
Once completed I will advertise them in the Vendor section of the AULRO.com section.
Please continue to register your interest and those who have indeed sent through orders will be the first invoiced and done...
Cheers Stuart
A Few of us received an email from Stuart the other night, and the update is good news for half of us - (the half of us who own earlier RRC's)
Below is an excerpt of the email I received.
Note, Stuart will likely amend the offerings once's he's up & running
Please check the vendor section for his listing, as this will obviously not remain current.

We can do all the 2 and 4 doors up until the tunnel changed in the mid 80s -
(when the Hand Brake moved to behind the shifter)
The full kit will contain:
Moulded tunnel and 2 moulded wheel arches (with optional gear shift boot)
Rear floor piece
Front of rear seat piece
Front Seat Bases
Cargo Mat
Spare Wheel Cover
Tool Cover
Tailgate
Vinyl Mats for Front & Rear
The floor mats will have the vinyl strips on them which slide under the sill plates too.
I am also going to offer a smaller kit, consisting of the following:
Moulded tunnel and 2 moulded wheel arches (with optional gear shift boot)
Rear floor piece
Cargo Mat
Spare Wheel Cover for the earlier cars, with options for it- to follow
I can do the hardura/vinyl tool cover for these earlier cars as an option too.
We are also working on two different under bonnet pads, one complete bonnet one and one like the original which fits between the ribs
We can do many other colours than those attached but the price will be a premium because the carpet has to come from the USA
Also available is binding in original style vinyl for those doing authentic restorations.
Delivery will be 3-4 weeks from confirmed order, perhaps sooner.
P.S. Does anyone have an original gear shift boot section I can copy?
P.P.S. please feel free to ask any questions you may have.
Hi All
Thanks for the patience with this it has been an enormous task getting this right and on Tuesday I cut out the first set of carpets which will be finished this week for photographs.
We have set ourselves up as others have reported here to do the entire carpet sets which gradually developed in the cars from passenger area carpets to the entire interior.
This includes:
Set of three vinyl floor mats (in black, milk chocolate or grey at this stage)
- these go under the carpets in the passenger positions as originally fitted. They include the tabs which slip under the sill plates.
Moulded centre tunnel carpet (with manual gear lever cover fitted for 4 speed where required)
Two front & one rear mats ( heavy backed like in the later 80s cars helping fit, aesthetics and sound deadening) fully bound and with vinyl locating strip for under sill plates as per originals.
Rear seat base carpet strip.
Moulded rear wheel arch carpets
Full cargo mat, heavy backed
Spare Wheel cover including reinforcement strip for location near the window
Tool cover (optionally can be made in hardura)
Tailgate cover (optionally can include the backing board, comes with binding)
We also have two seat base cover carpets for the front and I am looking into doing front kick panels like Holdens .
The kit is available at this time for all cars 2 or 4 door which use the original style tunnel ( I believe his is up until the handbrake moved to the centre console)
Fit is spot on ( much better than any alternative I have seen)
The introduction price for the entire kit is $1520 delivered in Australia
We will have parts kits available and can make them as per original using vinyl binding (POA).
To put this into perspective the average Jaguar kit we make uses 5m of carpet
The biggest boot kit (XJS) we use 5m of carpet and these kits are using nearly 12
They are also a lot more work to make with the moulding/sewing etc and include the vinyl too.
Indvidual parts are
Vinyl mat set of 3 120
Front carpets 120
Tunnel Piece 200
Seat Bases 40
Kick Panels 100
Rear Carpet 120
Rear Seat Base 60
Wheel Arches 140
Cargo 230
Tailgate 90 (+ board if req)
Spare Wheel Cover 220
Tool Cover 60 ($120 in Hardura)
Total $1500
So please give me a call or message on 0400995515 and I'll call you.
I'll put the pics up as soon as complete
Cheers Stuart
2 Door and early 4 Door Carpet kits ready to go now.
Early 4 door carpets are ready now too ( all models before they changed the tunnel in the late 80s) and can do all but the tunnels for the later ones. We will do the mould for the later tunnels soon.Quote:

Hi,
Was just wondering how the carpet sets for the later RRC's were getting along? It was mentioned about the tunnels being different and that you were working on it.
I'd be keen to recarpet my ol girl soon, while she is stopped and before she gets put back to work.
Thanks
