Ian F Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Anyone got any smart solutions as to how to stop the mats from sliding under the pedals! I did what the Caterham manual told me 4 years ago with the poppers but these have pulled thro, I've also tried heavy duty velcro but with only partial success!! Please help before I go mad!![:/ IAN (got the Green and Yellow Fever!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xflow7 Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Thirded. Mine were in for about a week before the poppers pulled through. Never been back in since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frying Pan Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Mine came out the second time they landed up under the pedals. They are now rolled up in the box the 6-speed came in 😬 See some pictures of the build here. 4000 miles completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goslima1 Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Bolt them through holes in the floor of the car - I have a few unused holes in the floor of my R300 and am going to use those. Marty R300 YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Scholtz Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 When I got my car I stuck them down 3M spray glue. Stuck well for about 5 months. Then I stuck them again. This time in the bin. I find it mets my feet slip in and out easier to. PS the weight saving will give you an extra 20HP and wont cost you 5 quid. Satisfaction gauranteed.

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted October 25, 2004 Leadership Team Share Posted October 25, 2004 Do the job properly - 2 correctly fitted poppers to the rear edge of the mats, 2 correctly fitted poppers to the rear edge of the footwell floor, locate mats, remove only for cleaning. What's the issue Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Corb Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 When I built the car I sent to complete carpet set back and then exchanged it for two of the carpetted mats. Each mat is held down along the rear edge with 3 poppers into the floor. 3 years and 6000miles later they are exactly where I fitted them. They've been removed ~ 4 times for drying out and hoovering but they go back fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old captain slow Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 The mats weigh 0.8kg each. Need I say more? 😬 C7 CDW Well actually yes I do need to say more. Wet mats weigh 1.2 kg each! Edited by - David W on 25 Oct 2004 15:01:55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Sewell Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Why do the carpets move. I hav e had them for nearly ten years and I have had to replace them twice in that time as I wore holes in them. Is it down to the adjustment of the pedals, so that you use the cross rail as a pivot point and do not slide your foot forwards? Low tech luddite - xflow and proud!
