Floor Mat Template

I had my old floor mat laying on my van's roof flattening back out and relaxing when I went for my first shake down drive and lost it. Went and looked around the route the next day it was gone. I needed a new mat anyway but it was my template, so I needed a new template. Generally I will use 2-3" strips of doorskin/luan for templates but it needed to be more flexible to template the new mat so I used cardboard. Straight cut strips of cardboard and a hot glue gun. It worked well, I hope it helps someone out.

The general rule of templating is always trust your template. Make your template accurate, use notes on it if needed ect.

Thanks for posting these tips, Seth. Saving a link to it for future reference...

I got really lucky and found an nos mat last month.

I like the wide rib pattern of this mat. Good grip but not a lot of thin grooves to gather sand and dirt. It's good stuff, Rubber-Cal is the mfr. I saw a thread here a while back. That was a 4'x6' pc there, a 3'x5' piece would be plenty. A lot of waste there for another sq ft under the passengers seat, but the price was about the same. And now I've got some good drawer liner.
