Next, I needed to install the floormats, because the shifter boot needs to sit on top of the mat...
I had been holding off putting the mat in until I was closer to done wiring...with as much as I was sweating , it would have been like a slipnslide...
The floormat and pad was an adventure from the word go....
I should have known that...
when I ordered a 1957 IH A120 floormat, they sent me a glove box for a 60s IH truck instead....
Yeah right...
"Custom fit....just like factory....no trimming needed..blah blah blah"..
Yeah right...
It comes with padding to go underneath,,,a layer of some kinda tar looking mat, a layer of jute looking mat, and the rubber mat...started out trying to get the pad in...wrestling all that mess in was like trying to drag 3 mules into the cab by their tails all at the same time...
I finally got exasperated and just cut the padding up in sections to make it fit..
I'll use tape to hold that together..I've got some good stuff I thinkll hold the pad..
Next comes the floormat...oh boy ...
well I been trimming edges on it until I finally got it to lay down,but right In the middle where the shifter is , is a big hump that I cant get to lay down...
You can see in the pics how the mat is in 3 pieces...right, left , and the center section...
its sewed together, and not very good I might add..
If I had a way to sew it I would just cut the stiches and redo it but I dont...I'm gonna try to use 3M 77 adhesive on it and hope for the best....
I've sprayed a couple pieces of scrap mat and have them clamped together to see how it holds..
Will check that in the morn and see how it holds..
