Triumph TR3 - Replacement Carpet Piece

For reasons too embrassing to review, I need to replace the new-ish piece of red wool carpet that goes under the passenger seat of my car.

Does TRF or Moss sell single pieces of carpet? If not, what are my best options for replacing just one piece?

Ok...it has to do with a frozen spring eye bolt and heat, lots of heat, from a MAPP gas torch. That's all I'm saying for now.

I'm sure that one of those suppliers would sell you the piece you want. But it will probably (99%) not match the color you have or the tuft you have on the other carpet pieces.

For now, why don't you make a paper pattern of what you want and get a close match remnant of similar carpet from a going out of business carpet house and have a seamstress of leather repair person stitch a border all around for you. If it's the one under the seat, it hardly shows.
