I did some work that required removing the driver and passenger bucket seats.
I know some of our suppliers sell a replacement for the vinyl under the brake pedal, but I’m interested in other options.
Is there something I can put in there and use a heat gun to set the shape?
What have you done to take care of that area?
Thanks.

When I recarpeted the cockpit area, I went ahead and ran the carpet up into that area. Took a little bit of cutting and some 3M spray adhesive but I was able to shape and stick the carpet down into the foot well. After 6 years, it still looks good. I got an inexpensive small rubber mat from Wal-Mart to put down to protect the carpet where my heel tends to dig in when my foot is on the accelerator pedal.

Thanks, Randy - the carpeting might be a great idea.
I’m thinking some non-woven (like the used to use in trunks, and on speaker cabinets).
