    I had them 5yrs ago and they were pretty well used up then. It was a card board set and something more durable was probably needed. If I remember right, there were 2 sets floating around.

    How difficult is it to make a new set, especially cardboard?

    The trick is to get the cardboard in those rounded corners and odd profiles. My guess is its easier to take a soft material, get the template then transfer it to cardboard.

    For shipping it would be better to double them up or else they'll get mangled. I may just give it a shot tomorrow. However, it was 89 degrees here in Brooklyn today and I've been suuning and BBQing but I'll try and make the sacrlfice.

    Use aluminum foil to make a template and transfer same to a old vinyl table cloth! Once complete the templates can be folded in thirds and easily mailed

    I understand sometimes just fabricating things yourself when it's convenient and material readily available, I can make a penny sweat too, with my Yankee Engineering and G.I. Ingenuity. But the saddlebag carpets that are already premade really don't cost that much though. Finished edges, rubber backing. I do have a set of these.

    That was close, its going to be 85 degrees today and I had no intentions of doing anything but sunning. Conservation of energy.
