32Pontiac6 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I am replacing the running board mat on my 526 sedan. I have found the top material from Restoration Supply but am looking for the material under the mat. From the attached photo it looks like a burlap material. Does anybody have a source for this original material or is there a more modern material that will work better? Any experience/help will be appreciated. Rob I am replacing the running board mat on my 1928 Packard 526 Sedan. I have found the mat material from Restoration Supply matches what I have there now. But I need to get the material that goes under the matting. From the attached photo it looks to be a burlap type material. Does anybody know a source of this material or is another more modern material used? Any help will be appreciated. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelroadster Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 It looks like linoleum. The burlap that shows up underneath is actually part of the linoleum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32Pontiac6 Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 When I took a piece out I wondered about that. It seemed to adhere to the linoleum material. However, the new material I found has a cloth backing but not as thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Just clean up the boards, prep them to your satisfaction and securely cement the new, and you are done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob The burlap was on the backing of the linoleum when made - forego the thick burlap - you do not want it as it can cause flexing and prematurely limit live of the matting you purchased (plus holds water) Edited March 13, 2020 by John_Mereness (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
