Jay, my interest is probably too obsessive, I've spent a couple days looking to see whether this matters even for million dollar Ferraris (!)….But specifically, the carpet padding on '1076 seems to have been a kind of horse-hair...Of course, today there are plenty of synthetic pads that I'm sure are better in every regard, and its possible that the closest solution to original is a felt pad (maybe 3/8" thick ?)
The Goose parts manual distinguishes (around Tav 14) "Pendana" (footboard)and "Tappeto" (carpets) then the "feltro" (felts) on tav 15 (shown in second picture below). ...So likely, the horsehair wasn't ever called out in the parts manual and just came as backing on the carpets. If anybody had replaced the backing on the carpet itself and found something like on '1076, then great...!
Or even, if anybody suggests a particular replacement for the Felt (used on the floors, glued to the interior wall behind the seats, and which is probably also the stuff used in the engine bay around the heat shields?), thanks for any help...Lee
