I'm interested in seeing what SO33 owners doing for floor covering in the rear camper area. Our SO33 has pieces of plywood fastened to the bases of the seats and a loose piece of plywood filling the space in front of the doors. Should a piece of carpet fit on top of that plywood?

A search on this site and Google haven't turned up a lot, other than poor quality pictures of what appears to be a piece of cut and bound short pile carpet. Is that what Westfalia originally put in these units? If so, does anyone have good pictures, or measurements, or a pattern for cutting the carpet? Carpet material and pile??

Any help will be much appreciated.

Also wondering about what material was used on the inside of the side rear entry doors, on the rear hatch, and on the ceiling/headliner area of the cab. Judging by the loose pieces that came with the 1964 SO33, they used some sort of 1/8" thick hardboard of several types.

Are those pieces available from suppliers, or are people making up their own replacement pieces out of hardboard or ??
