List,

Has anyone had any luck getting black felt to replace the felt strips that 
line the underneath of the metal rails (the two side rails) on the spare tire 
cover of a TR6?

I thought that getting some of this stuff would be as easy as a trip to a 
local fabric store but not so!  Visits to fabric stores, craft stores, 
hardware stores, auto trim shops, etc. haven't been successful.  The problem 
is that the felt is too thick for general retail sales and felt manufacturers 
don't even want to talk to you for a yard of material.......it's 3/16" thick 
by 1" wide by 22" long.

I've got some backup ideas in case I'm really shutout on this one but thought 
I'd try the 'ol reliable list for ideas first.

TIA,

chip
