Welcome back Rick, Sorry to hear about Ian

The likelyhood of you dyeing a carpet successfully are probably close to 0%. The years of wear & tear on the fibres will mean that they will probably have a different uptake of colour depending on the fibres aged properties. To dye a whole carpet, you'll need a huge vessel that can be heated, and be agitated in some way to achieve a even application of colour. The cost of the dye would be outrageous for the amount of fabric you want to dye, e.g. a good black requires about 4% colour, so for 10kg of fabric you'd need 400g of dye, just overdyeing a tan carpet with another tan dyestuff, might require 50g per 10kg but then you won't cover any problems anyway. Probably easier & cheaper to just buy a new carpet.

We are getting a lot of dodgy new members trying to join at the moment, I'm blocking them all, but just keep an eye out if any slip through & please use the Report Post button if you see anything amiss

I'm guessing you probably searched it in your browser, clicked on the options at the top right & click "add to home screen" I don't have any Apple products, but this is how I'd do it on Android.

nice to see you back, all good things take time! You don't want to do a rush job do you?

Twiggs Matlock sell stainless but larger sheets unfortunately https://www.twiggs.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Steel-Buyers-Guide-website-copy.pdf

Showing your age now Craig!

could always superglue something to the top of it & then try & pull it out

I'd start with new distributor cap, leads. points & condenser & then plugs

Must admit I searched for cortina mk1 glovebox, didn't realise the result was Elan S1 Glovebox - not sure whether they are the same?

like this? https://kelvedonlotus.co.uk/product/s1-glove-box/

More stressful than anything, at least I managed to recover it all. Certainly enjoyed a couple of beers after that.
