Does anyone have a recent experience purchasing good quality pyramid running board matting for a 1930 car? I have read in the past that the repro matting does not have the same number of pyramids per inch as the original matting, but is there a source for matting that is very close to looking like the original stuff?

How many "pyramids per inch" do you need to be original?

Check out page 82 in the following catalog:

I have not used this stuff before personally, just know about it.

The pyramid rubber on a friends original car is spaced at about 6 pyramids per inch. (The repro material that I have seen recently has about 5.0 to 5.25 pyramids per inch.)

It looks like those guys carry the special male pronged snaps that are used on the S/W sedan rear carpet!

They do have lots of neat stuff. I browse their catalog like a kid browsing the toy section of the Sears Catalog before Christmas. You have to recognize it from sight, though, because they don't know what all it fits.
