I wouldn't use contact cement to attach the carpet to the steel floor of
your Spit. If you did, it would be very difficult to dry out the carpet if
you ever got the inside wet. I used a bit of spray adhesive on the rocker
panel carpet pieces, but the rest of the carpet is being held down with the
snaps and a bit of Velcro.

Subject: Installation of Carpet set
I recently purchased a carpet set and new door seals for my '76 Spit from
Obsolete Automotive. It came with no instructions and they suggested that I
use contact cement to install the carpets.
Anyone have any tips or insights for me before I start the job?
Jim
