Julian,
Any thoughts on grades of felt? I did a little looking a while back and there are lots of variations. There were some very strong felts, but I'm not sure they can stretch to fit a curved surface.

I would think covering the bottom of the trunk to be an increased fire
risk, in my tub the edges at the top of the fenders are the only places
it contacts the body, so wrapping the felt over onto the underside edge
would work well. FWIW I do not have any of the Dzus fasteners on the
tub or fenders, it just sits there comfortably.
As to textured versus felt lining, what do you use your tub for? When I
pack mine for a long journey as bags don't fit particularly well I
usually end up packing a lot of stuff straight into the tub and
getting a lot more in, felt in that case is much more appealing to me.
Keep an eye on eBay for seats, they are selling for ~$1500 a pair now
(I gave mine away some years ago), but you can get lucky and I see a
set just sold for a bargain $260! Consider finding a rough set for
the frames as foam and quality reproduction covers are
readily available.

First, I suggest covering the bottom of the trunk insert with carpeting
remnants as it sits against and rubs on large areas of the inner fender
wells. This will remove most coatings on the fenders or the insert
bottom, and sometimes squeeks. And due to the position of the headers
and exhausts and the hot air flow from the radiator under the cabin
that exhausts out the 'window' opening in the deck lid, plus the ZF
itself, the fiberglas trunk insert get quite warm on long runs. Do NOT
carry chocolate in here! So whatever you coat the insert with should be
pretty heat-resistant.
Larry Stock at Pantera Parts Connection has used stock seats. Call him
for pricing and remember, your Sheels may be worth most of the cost of
stock replacements. Once you have early seats, slotting the back stays
will allow changing the seat rake and you will fit nicely without
rubbing the roof with your head. I'm 6'2" and I fit wearing a helmet,
in raked stock seats.
My best guesses- J DeRyke

My 72 Pre-L fiberglass trunk tray needs to be redone. I have removed
the carpet/felt and it is all clean with no more residue. My rear
compartment has the stock textured undercoating. I was thinking of
either redoing the carpet/felt that I removed since it was in terrible
shape -OR- I was thinking it would blend better and look cooler if I
painted it with black rubberized undercoating. Is this a crazy idea or
a good one. Has anyone ever tried it? I am really leaning on doing it
but wanted to get wisdom from the group. I am NOT planning on smoothing
off the texture and make it mirror-like. It looks awesome that way, but
it is not worth the time and expense personally to me, so keep your
response with the stock textured surface staying as it is beneath the
trunk tray.
I appreciate your input.
I am also still looking for a set on early 72 seats. I can't sell my
Hall Pantera Scheel seats until I get stock seats. The Scheel seats
are nice but being 6'-3" I need lower seats just to fit. I am not
dropping the floors.
