Not sure about the carpet set, but I have the heel mats as per the pic. These are a great reproduction of the original.
Normally sell them for $80.00 each.
I purchased my carpet from Knox Auto Carpets in Victoria and had them made up from originals.
I think they do moulded carpet sets as well, but far from original.

Your heal mats have weathered perfectly in the last 5 years Indigo. They still look great.

The Mk 2 should have a tight weave loop pile carpet. You can get them made through Lee Brothers in Brisbane. Ask to speak to Shane.

Thanks for the replies, I'll give Lee Brothers a call. I take it that is them at Albion.

This is a comparison of the new carpet with a piece of the old overlaid. This will be as Low n Blown is describing from Brisbane I expect. This stuff here I picked up from Knox Carpets in Melbourne however.

Knox have a molded set, which is not the same as a tailored fitted set from the factory. The carpet feels good though, and has held up really well for the last 5 years. I tailored my own set from a set of patterns. About an hour to cut and a couple of hours to sew up on the pfaff. We're lucky to get this carpet so relatively easily and cheaply 45 years on.

There's a few chalk marks still in thh first image.
