carpeting firewall/strong glue? compund-curving new carpet?
regarding 'front floorboard areas': are some new automotive carpets
steam (or 'electric heat gun') bendable into compound curves? if so, might I be able to, say, bend them to contour compund curve similar to that of a regular softball? what 'secret' method do trim shops USE to 'normally' bend carpets in 'compound curves'? also. I'm needing to recarpet interior upper face of karmann ghia firewall (normally carpeted from factory). what carpeting adhesive ('normal' carpet adhesive OR otherwise, eg: epoxy? 'liquid nails'construction adhesive? etc) would offer the BEST heat resistance/strength over time? the car is air-cooled, so engine runs HOT, and florida is ALSO very hot...we're lookin' @ a _very_ high heat vertical firewall carpet install. so, are there 'wall to wall carpet tack strips' that are made _entirely_ of sheet metal? the ones used normally in home carpet installs are laminated wood, right? I'd like to 'do the job once and have it last' as oppsed to 'trying out lots of spray glues'... some pop rivets (thru the firewall) might be acceptable, but, nuts and bolts wouldn't be 'pleasing' as top of firewall 'shows' in engine compartment too... thanks for ideas, tips, and pointers :-) |
