I got mine from www.heritagetrim.com. They are pricey but top quality. You need to trim the pieces to fit your car.
Yes, I have to agree with Heritage Upholstery & Trim for carpets. Their "Karvel" is great to work with and is the closest we can get to the original stuff. It's available in red, dark blue and black. It holds a raw edge as the original does and is sewn and bound only where it originally was. They will sew the Austin heel mat in place as you wish.
Most carpet sets, wherever you get them from need trimming for individual fit in your particular car.

Hey Ric,
Consider AH SPares in the UK. I have purchased several sets from them and the quality is excellent. May not be the Karvel original but definitely nicer than what Moss sells. Just price it out and check the box to get shipping charges prior to shipping so if it seems too high you could cancel. Seems like sometimes their charges are reasonable and others way high.
Regards,
Mike

I got mine from:

Found them to be very good to work with - great service after the sale and the prices with some great materials was very competitive. Worth getting a quote.

Ric,
If you have a BJ8, please know that the Heritage kit will include a tranny tunnel cover that needs a good amount of cutting and working to get it to fit, and even then it will be lumpy in places. This is done to make it as close as possible to the original, which is all well and good, but if you are more interested in a clean fit than an original appearance then you might want to check around.

Nope. The car is supposed to have a 3/8 pulley on the generator. The other two pulleys are correct, and so shall this one be.
