I was out in the T this morning when I took a phone call from Management, luckily just for a change I was stopped at Greg's, because the first owner forgot to order the bluetooth option (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/wink.gif)
So Management doing her good deed for the day had taken a load of clothes and shoes to the clothing bank. However when she went to put them into the container there was a roll of car carpet standing besides it, too big to fit inside.
Now with her years of hearing me rabbit on about health & safety, she immediately realise that it was a serious trip hazard, so rang me for urgent H&S advice (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/wink.gif)
I suggested that she put it into the back of her car and bring it home, so that I could conduct a through Risk Asessment (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/tongue.gif)

I'd cut it up to fit the Model T (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/up.gif)
First remove the floor boards :

Note : A further task completion Risk Assessment revealed a likely hood of the carpet strips fouling the pedals, so the carpet was cut back around the pedal box area.

Looks nice, but as you have no roof, is it not going to get really wet and mildew? (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/huh.gif)

Looks nice, but as you have no roof, is it not going to get really wet and mildew?
Only if it rains (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/rofls.gif)
NB : I fully intend to drive it in the first snow of the year, but it's not the sort of car you drive in the rain (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/wink.gif)
