I'm after information about the full length rubber boot mats.

What models did it come with?
Can you upload some photos or point me to a site with some?
What clips/fasteners are used with it? Where can I buy them?

This is the original one in our 1962 850, with one we cut out underneath.

I think I've seen the clips that hold it to the boot lid for sale somewhere. 'Christmas Tree' clips I think they were called - could be wrong.

The matt just clips onto the boot lid only with the christmas tree style clips and sits loose in the boot itself.

Thanks for the picture.

Does the rubber mat have anything under it? Like felt or something?
It looks as though the boot lid may have something under it.

Can anyone tell me the size of the clips? I want to see if I can get the correct size.

I'm going on memory here, but didn't later cars have the same thing but made of a heavy vinyl. Seem to remember my 70 matic was like that.

There's two different types (well I've found two, may not be original). They differed in size. I'll see if I can find them.

There wasn't any sign of underlay stuff on the 850 under the mat. In the photo above, it's a second rubber mat that we cut out that's underneath - in theory it should support the original. The white things are bits of double sided tape.

FYI

November build, 1965 Morris Mini Deluxe.

Trunk rubber mat Morris Mini Deluxe 1965 by mort subite, on Flickr

The clips on the edge of the boot lid are metal spring clips with a flat/dome head, nounted through the rubber with strngthening gause glued to the back to help prevent the rubber ripping when new.
It has a part number embossed in the rubber and has a 1.5" or so boarder around the entire edge of the mat.

This is the type of thing that I would dearly love to have remade , along eith the rubber flooring with the morris logo. one day maybe.

Here's a picture I have of the clips. I haven't got measurements, sorry.

Mort's photo reminded me of this one I took of a Mini at a clearing sale (here)

1965 Mini Deluxe, as new interior, a very nice original Mini.

Cool. Now all I need is to work out where I can get those clips from. I can't seem to find them on minispares.com or minisport.com.au. Surely some mini place stocks them

Here is a photo of a mold I have come across. I'd like to have the right clips to hold it in though.

Cool, this looks like a great repro.
Sorry, cant help with the clips/pins.
