Greg,Mike,list,etc.,

            The folks at British Parts Locators are constantly selling their
carpet kits on e-bay (sorry, maybe that's how you got your carpet ??). they
seem to start at $5 and get bid up to ???, depending on whose awake and
bidding...

                                                            worth a try,
