Just gone to fit my minisport deluxe carpets.
Don't see what's deluxe about them, they fit, ish, but the front piece.....
Are they designed for something else?
There doesn't seem to be a gear stick opening.
Now I know it's easy to cut one, but I kind of expected it to be there and ready to fit.
There is a shaped piece with a hole at the front, for what?
Moan over!

The piece with the hole is for the bulkhead / tunnel angle section, you need to cut the carpet( remove gear knob and make a + with a blade then trim to suit once you are happy with the fit

Remember, the carpet is made to fit cars with 3 different gear changes (pudding stirrer, remote and rod) so if they were pre cut, you'd have extra holes everywhere! The early cars also had the starter switch in between the seats...

The hole at the front could be for the high beam switch?

We'll be having these next, just trying to tidbit up a little time it's restoration time.
