Default Carpet for back seat

I need a source for carpet to cover where the back seat went. Or are there other options to cover that area? What have you used? I wanted to use the seats but the cage bars makes it impossible. Thanks
Mike

I’d reach out to Mr, Derby City...he probably has a pattern that would fit. I’ve got the super light weight carpeting in the back but it’s showing it’s age. That is who I’ll contact when I’m traveling through there.

Found a roll of black carpet at Home Depot, I believe it's original use was for covering stereo speakers, it is relatively inexpensive and wide enough to cover the are of a rear seat,

it doesn't necessarily have to be carpet. It just has to be upholstered in some way. Not bare metal.

If you don't need a roll bar because of class but you need a firewall because you have a fuel cell can you carpet over the firewall or do you have to put the back seat in?

No way I can get the seat installed unless I cut them in four pieces, back and bottom. Back "could" be done but bottom, too many cuts. I really wanted them back there for looks. I have cut foam blocks to fit (in pieces) then just the covers over those. Easy to conture with a grinder then hot glue or cement. Just need an agile Asian to get in there to work between those monkey bars, way beyond my fat butt.

We did this on a car several years ago. It conformed to the various shapes and curves. We glued it down.

Go to a fabric store and buy "felt" or a similar product in a color that matches the interior cut it to fit and use aerosol adhesive to make it stick. Maybe do it for $10-15 for materials
