looking for GERMAN imported wool carpet kits

[wegweiser]

Anyone have suggestions for German wool carpet kits for 02s these days? I love the GAHH kits (quality was superb!) - but searching for less expensive offerings to pass along to my customer. Must be wool / Imported type - not nylon.

Prefer two-tone black/gray or blue/gray.

Thanks for any leads!

Paul, I've used Auto Mat in the past for MB450sl restorations and a number of American cars. The 450's got Hargarn wool, not cheap, but it's a buyers market now. I'm thinking of using them to do a trunk trimout on a 70 2002 I'm finishing up now.

World Upholstery sells a German wool loop (it is actually a blend, I believe). I was very satisfied with the final result (my own installation rather than a kit).

Al from Seams Perfect in Canada sells a beautiful Germal Wool kit that is correct for the very early cars. I got one for my 67 1600. About $550 3 years ago. It's hard to get ahold of him though, but his work is flawless at least in my case.

The carpet he's used is available - just need to find a good kit or upholsterer.

My bad. I didn't know he was out of business but sure enough his website is down. When did he go under? I'm glad I got my set in time

I'm in regular contact with Al, and have access to his patterns, material, and suppliers.

I'm currently enrolled in an Automotive Upholstery course, which should be wrapping up about the end of May, and I'm going to be purchasing a sewing machine then and I'll most likely start producing carpet sets using Seams Perfects' patterns, and have been shown the procedure.

I'll also be producing carpets for E21's (77-83 3series) as well.

Just thought I'd throw this out there, and let you guys know.

Do you have any tats?

I have a blue (slatish blue as opposed to navy) carpet set from Seams Perfect, still unopened in its original Canuck wrappage and shipping label. I don't like carpet in general so there is no reason for me to hold onto it. Weg, I would be willing to pass it along at normal market value if you have a customer application that might fit. randymolson at gmail dot com

Oh, nothing...nothing.

It is great that you are stepping up to fill the void.
