I will make a note to post photos. I discovered the best way to cut the carpet is from the underside so I laid the pattern on top to decide how I wanted to cut it (my new carpet has a pattern) and then flipped it so that I had access to the underside. I could see the pattern well enough.
Despite my careful fitting when I put it in today I found I still had to do more cutting for that perfect fit. So now I have more latex to apply, let dry and then put it back it. At least that next time I will be able to bolt the seats back down.
Buy a box of zip top baggies and a Sharpie. Everything get bagged and tagged. Take photos before you take anything out so you have them as reference points later. I spent an hour today trying to figure out why there were no vertical holes on the seat bar to hold the seat down. Then I found the baggie marked seat floor clamps and everything fell into place.
