I can’t tell from the picture, the size and shape of the projections. Check McMaster Carr (www.McMaster.com). Search “rubber mats” then choose projections. There might be a mat design close to what you need. Jim Patrick

Check with Wittmer Coach in New Holland, PA. I found black pyramid rubber matting there. It is sold by the yard. I then painted it with flexible white paing.

The late Ken Jones restored a 1911 roadster and it has pyramid aluminum floor covering over the rear floorboards.

If I recall correctly, the original pyramid aluminum was in rough shape but he was able to find a suitable replacement which is probably the same pyramid aluminum that is posted in the catalog above.

How much do you need?
If you can’t find any,
I probably have a roll.

Thanks everyone, I think I found some at a lower price (could be junk) 36" wide $5.00 per linear foot, I ordered 8' . If it's not correct I will take you up on your offer Larry. Again, Thank All.

That is looking really nice Dean. Will you be painting or staining the floorboards before you put the mats down? What do you plan to use to hold the mats down so they dont curl up in the corners? Hope you can bring your car to Nebraska some day for the Speedster Union.

Thanks again, I will paint the floor with black paint, I have brushed on some West System epoxy already, will sand and paint soon. The hard part is dry fitting everything then taking it all apart for paint, I'm going to use 3M spray adhesive for vinyl to hold down covering, if it lifts at the corners I'll put a small tack in.
