The carpet is the same as a sedan, except that you only need the front section (infront of the cross member). What do you mean about the dash exactly? |

I f you want you can carpet the rear floor but that section is just under 100mm longer than a sedans rear floor and their is extra metal brackets in a van (for the battery and spare tyre). The dash rails are basically the same from 1959 to 2001, just the later ones (1970) weren't designed to look nice uncovered. |

Are you wanting to restore the Van to original spec, or just wanting to know what carpet fits? Reason I ask is that Mini K Van did not come with carpet, but had the moulded plastic floor mats. Might be very difficult to find one in good condition. Leyland Mini Van had carpet - same as sedan, but only front section. Cheers, Watto.

I fitted a T**-Fit mouled carpet intended for a Mini sedan to my K van (since sold). I had to cut down the rear section to suit. I then used the offcuts to fill the area where the carpet was originally cut to fit around the rear side bins on a Mini sedan. Otherwise it was straightforward, but the fit around the tunnel was crap! |

I did the same with a T**-Fit in my van. But yes, the tunnel section fitment is a little, disappointing.

I don't think the K*** auto carpets fit is any better really. I've had both.
