Yes they started putting them on in Aug 1959 for the 1960 model year.
A lot seem to question their effectiveness. |

The WW Grey mats seem to be closer to the 1961 Rock Grey mats..?
Wouldn’t mind seeing these side by side though to compare.
You are so right! I used the same source but peraps clicked on the sheets below. My eyes are not the best for close vision any longer.
Not having the rubber mats at hand, I would first buy the grey ones from WW and for the long run search original ones. |

I decided to give the horns another try as suggested and after smacking them A few times they started working. And not bad at all.

How did the round heater hose connect to the oval opening under the rear seat?
I have the Y splitter for left and right but not sure what connected a round shaped hose to the oval outlet.

So just shove a round hose into an oval hole? |

Thats how I found mine when I stripped that area. The paper alloy tubes are easily formed / bent. I think Jbugs had the right diameter tube, its slightly bigger than the engine pre-heat. Do you have the Y piece?
I did read somewhere there were metal tube versions but mine were the paper. |

Yes. I have the Y piece and paper tubes but they were just shoved in there. I am going to eventually 3D print an adapter for it. |

| I remember there were two little tangs that get bent over to trap the paper tube, one of mine outlets had the remnants of the tube in there. |
