LMC Carpet Way Too Long (What to Do?)

[DT1]

I'm putting the carpet in the 72 and it's at least 10 inches too long. I pushed it up on the firewall as far as it needs to be and it still covers the gas tank by 10 inches. The carpet in my 71 is seamed right at the base of the tank, so I know this is not right. Should I cut this carpet or unbolt the tank and slip it under? If I cut it, what should I use to seal the edge to keep it from fraying? This kind of makes sense in that what ever I get from LMC is always too long or too short or doesn't fit at all. Not ranting but LMC is about as sub-standard as they come. I blame myself for continuing to use them.

cut it off and make some door panel or kick panel inserts

Don't they offer 2 different ones? One with gas tank in cab and without gas tank.

Yes they do and I think they may have shipped the poster the wrong one.

That's probably it. Too Much to return it so I cut it and re-seamed. Too bad after all these years LMC still can't get there stuff together. I would love to cut them loose but they seem to have a much larger selection of the small stuff. In the future I will avoid LMC as much as possible.
