Where to find classic car parcel shelf fabric?

[marlinspike]

Anyone have a link or supplier for the grey felt-type fabric that is used to cover the wooden parcel shelf on classic era cars? I can't find it on ebay and the usual car trimmers like Woolies don't seem to list it. I think I am probably looking for it under the wrong name. Does it have a proper name? Thanks.

Thanks. I will ask for a catalogue and price list, though I can't see anything listed on the web site.

Martrim will have what you need, most good auto trimmers use them

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I had looked at most of the usual car trimmers like Woolies and Segals, but they don't list parcel shelf fabric and I couldn't find anything which would suit. I have used a lot of craft felt over the years and it isn't the same weight and texure as parcel shelf material.

I guess I need to ring round a bit when I am ready to recover the shelf, rather than expecting to find it listed on the web.

On another note - that Martrim website re-vamp, what were they thinking? It's like something you would make 15 years ago with a website programme that came free on the disc you got with Computer Shopper.

It's called acoustic carpet. Halfords sell it if your stuck.

Acoustic carpet - I would never have guessed it was called that. Thanks, Dan. Needless to say, ebay is full of it now I know what to search for. I have looked in Halfords stores but never seen it. Thanks again.

That's because proper auto trimmers don't use people like woollies, they use proper auto trim suppliers.
