Cab floor lining is a let down

Slowly, the rolling restoration of my Mk1 is coming together. The cab floor lining, though, is a dud and beyond saving.

I could just patch the holes and slap a tailored floor mat down, but i'd really like to replace the lining itself. You have to remove the seats and disconnect the gear linkage cables to do this properly. It's a big plastic pan backed with foam in my mk1 facelift van; the earlier mk1s had a rubber item similarly backed with thick foam.

It's a long shot, but does anyone know the part number for this item or maybe where i could get hold of a good one?

Will be visiting the Exeter Citroen dealership tomorrow. They're always really helpful but dealer support for the dear old Mk1 is fading as time moves on ( the holy grail is a NOS item from Citroen but not holding my breath)

Re: Cab floor lining is a let down

hmm i only have Fiat's ePER to check with, but see if this helps:
just note it gives 2 part numbers because one is for left hand drive.

you can use ePER yourself as FiatForum hosts a copy of it very handy for us van keepers!

Huh, is yours hard plastic? Did they change it after the face lift?

I know you're trying to keep it original but I bought a rubber checker plate pattern mat that goes across both sides, looks good and practical too!

I decided to do the same, floor looked scrubby, and wouldn't have been too bothered, but on finding that a full length rubber mat would give it a tidy up for around £20, it was an easy choice.

....and with two years gone, is still looking good.
