Dave,
Here's what I found on Listquest from last year (not much). I last had
experience with them in 1994 with a good carpet kit I helped a friend install
on a TR-6. Full disclaimers...

<< Ulix,
I don't know if they're still around, but there was a place called Automat in
NY in Hicksville. I did find a phone # on the web - (516) 938-7373 . I
bought a closeout $100 set for my old MGB that blew
away the "deluxe" crap
I got from, ahem, a major retailer. They were on the
expensive side, but
ask about closeouts. They advertised in Road and
Track for years back in
the days of Barbara Eden with a girl in a bikini under
the ad line "Car Pet
Anyone?" Ah, simpler times... >>

I have been to Automat though not recently. Spoke with
the owner and saw
their operation. Top shelf! They have original
patterns for every car
imaginable. Bought my hardura set for myoldbugeye
there, and was top rate.
Usual disclaimers.
