They don't make them for the taller, later seat stands. I had to buy an extra set of the early ones, and cut material to make up for the excess needed. _________________ '76 Deluxe Campmobile |

Hmmm, I may visit an upholstery shop and see how much a custom job would be. Im not liking the idea of paying $110, plus shipping, and still having to cut and install too. Can't be too much, right? If its more than $175 then I guess I'll be ordering 2 sets from my favorite Bus parts store... _________________ 2019 Audi Q5

two sets of the same and cut the second set to fit is all we have. If you are going to show it and it is a Westphalia use carpet. If it is a bus use the rubber. Good luck finding a material that matches if you do it any other way.

If you're not toooo worried about it being 100% authentic you could do what I did. This is a "treadmill mat" from Academy. I think it was under $30.

SGKent, that dosent look too bad at all... Yeah, I was worried about finding the same material.
Bala, that's a real good idea. Gonna have to really consider this!
I'll post up what I find out at a few local shops in my area. _________________ 2019 Audi Q5

When you say earlier model what years are you talking about? I have a 74 that I wish to replace the seat pedestal/stand rubber. My guess is that the 76 and up with the swivel seat needs a different rubber product. _________________ Brett
