Hello Oracles. My car is not near me at the moment, I need to order a piece or rubber mat to be stitched into the drivers footwell carpet. What size is the heel pad? Could someone nip out to their motorhouse with a rule and measure for me? Thanks |

Hi Ben, assuming you mean the heelpad in the carpet and not the one in the lambswool overmats, they are as follows on my car (Shadow 1979) : 395mm x 250mm (15.55" x 9.84"). Hope this helps. |

Hi Ben Mine is 16.25" by 8.25". I suspect Benoit's car is closer to the original - mine looks aftermarket. My car is a 74 SY1. This pic may help: |

For the record the RHD 74/5 heel pad size is 15.75in X 8.50in. This is from my original carpet off the SS1 at 44 years of age. And the worn sheepskin rug with a replacement heal pad stitched in last week.

Larry sadly not myself doing the work. I just keep an interesting eye on things as the years progress. However the warmer weather is coming so you hopefully may get a little more wear out of them! |
