Floor/carpet pattern files?

[njoconnor]

I recall seeing some threads about a graphics file available, which can be printed out (on a large format printer) and create patterns for cutting carpeting and insulation. I can't find the threads (did a couple of different searches). Can someone redirect me?

Thanks

Dan, Neil.
I'm about to embark on the carpet for my 81. Any advice on what type of carpet to use? I have found a few types at the DIY store. Rubber back (might retain moisture), canvas back (seems stiff and unworkable), and third looking nice on the front but very "flimsy" in nature and I think it will end up bunching up. What did you use? I plan to take the main piece and have the edges bound for a good look.

Also, if there is any chance of getting, purchasing, begging your pattern files, that would be swell!

Thanks in advance,
Deb

Thanks,
I am already planning to use the EZ cool since everyone seems to have had success with it. I'm just having a hard time choosing the carpet itself. What is most workable, cutable, sewable, etc.

Appreciate the help

if you look in my post, the carpet I used was easy to cut with reg kitchen scissors. i did not sew the ends. I bought it at Lowes and the Marine grade (rubber bottom) keeps any water/moisture away from the car and does not slide around etc

Good point about the rubber bottom not sliding, didn't think of that. I've been to HD but I'll hit Lowes this weekend.
Thanks.
