C2 67 Coupe Rear main Carpet piece

[Stephen L.]

I recently ordered new carpeting for my coupe. The rear area main piece came with the "wings" spliced onto the larger piece.

I also thought the edging material was sewn around these. I found out in an earlier post that this is incorrect. The "wing" edges were NOT bound originally, although a carpet set by ACC, ordered a few years ago, had bound edges. (I also found a photo of a "survivor" in which the carpet in question does not appear to be bound on the wing edges)

My question: Was the original main rear carpet piece fabricated from 3 pieces of carpet? The main piece with the 2 "wings" sewn/spliced onto the main piece.
This is what Al Knoch is stating as "correct" for this application.

Thanks

Re: C2 67 Coupe Rear main Carpet piece

The 67 coupe rear area floor and up the back wall is all one piece on original carpet. The pinch welting is along the back wall top edge and in the two "L" along the interface to the sides that cover the wheel housings. There is NO pinch welting along the vertical corner back most edges of the back wall and the wheel housing carpet. I am very familiar with this as I hand sewn the original welting on to new material carpeting pattern exact to the original.
