Drivers side mat

Postby Ralph111 » Tue Oct 03, 2017 6:00 pm

Does anyone know where I can purchase a full drivers side mat for a 1966 Olds toronado deluxe? I have the pan.
Thanks

As far as I know you can't get the correct mat. You'll have to improvise. McMaster-Carr sells sheet rubber mats with lands and grooves that you can cut to fit.

You'll probably have to find the closest match here: https://www.mcmaster.com/#floor-mats/=19nx8v5

Here are the ribbed traction mats.

Scroll down to Traction Mats with the diamond tread design. Click on that. Then at the top of the page, 4th picture over is a ribbed mat. Click on that photo and you'll see the the sizes its available in. It's a decent approximation if your existing mat is unusable.

Let us know what you finally do about your mat and post pictures.

Mine looks good at a glance but has shrunken around the edge by 3/8" to 1/2" and has a small tear where your heel rests.

I intend to use the McMaster-Carr product unless something better is found.
