Okay stupid question, car I am working on (67 Belvedere) came with a new auto carpet but I am putting a four speed hump for future upgrades once the Mrs. gets use the car, it is a family NSS race car.
Wondering if with some forming I can make it fit decently to the 4spd hump.

You can if you leave a big hole in it. Carpets are cheap, just buy the correct one. You could always sell the one you have now.

When we converted our Dart to a 4-speed we managed to make the auto carpet work. Refolding, a bit of stretching. No console either.

We did it because the auto carpet was new and it seemed a shame to change it out.

It would be ideal to just get the 4-speed carpet.

Worked fine in my 87 Diplomat, for which there is no factory 4 speed. Nor did I use a console. All you can do is try it and see, it it'll work great, if not you'll know before you cut any holes in it.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Ummmmm, doubt it
