Front Floor Mat

[PabloCruise]

What are y'all doing for front floor mats?

I have what I consider a pretty nice original. Now with the H55F and split-case, I am going to have to make some mods to the transmission tunnel/cover.

The thought of cutting the floor mat for the 5-speed isn't sitting well with me.

For those of your who have gone w/ an aftermarket floor covering, what have y'all done?

What do you recommend?

TIA

Here is my current mat.

Maybe I am overthinking this? Maybe I should just cut it?

I have a 1973 FJ55 with V8 and H55F 5 speed and no cut required.

Did you have to modify the tunnel?

That’s too nice to cut. IMHO

Agreed.
I would rather come up with an alternate plan.

I know the shifter had to be bent . My brother figured it out

The boots and bottom plates are from a 85-87 FJ60

I think your V8 swap moved the H55 forward so you could use the original holes.

My shifter is further back. I am going to be modifying the tunnel to accomodate.

The left (passenger) V8 valve cover is very very close the the E brake bracket

Has anyone made a front mat from carpet?
