Carpet Spikes

Post by rogerotto66s »

While installing carpet on my 1966 “S” I noticed the spikes received with the carpet are different than the spikes removed from my original carpet. The depth of the spike is the same but the color and top width are different.

Original on right.

I only have two of the originals.
Are they available anywhere or does anyone have a set they are not planning on using?

I believe the originals were Brass where as the aftermarket are steel .

I have to agree. Genuines are brass.

I have silver steel ones too, not sure who supplied them though.
