I am looking for floor mats to cover the original factory carpeting and am only finding mats with holes/grommets as used on the later 911s, or the current version of CoCo mats that have a rubber underside and therefore an overall thickness more than I want. Has anyone found a supplier/style that they would recommend? Thank you.
If you go for period look, only Cocomat are correct, although back then Sisal mats were also a factory option.
Nothing else was available and even today's Cocomats have a rubber backing, they look great and are very well fabricated. The rubber back prevents they are gliding, of what the original ones did.
Whatever else you choose is up to you but never will be period correct.
What also people forget is that Porsche never wanted their name been stepped on by shoes with the heels, hence the Porsche name is always sideways near Rocker panel, never heel area. Even today.
First thing also to spot an aftermarket item.

Seems like there existed 2 mat designs back then. The one on the first cataloque page has holes for the pedals the other one (as the ones supplied now from e.g. cocomats.com) has the tongue end just before the pedals.
Does anyone know a source for the one's going all around the pedals? I am looking for a style just like this:
Nobody makes repro according to the earlier style w pedall cut-outs.
Cocomats are the only one being close and in good quality.
You do can supply a template to Cocomats and they do it, for a special price.
Otherwise, you need to find period used ones (i beleive as seeing above) which is not easy. to find.

Cocomats should already have the template for around the pedals just ask, they also have the center piece that goes around the shifter.

(being a bit surprised not having thought of the simplest of all ways by himself...)
This is what they should look like.

Bob, those are in my opinion period aftermarket but not period factory. However, still cool as its period and original.
There is a rule with Porsche that the name is never put on the heel pad, to not put dirt on it. Those above are having this detail (typo is wrong too, pedal cut-out differs and center piece not separated) and are imo period aftermarket from "back in the day". There were many aftermarket producer in the US, i have a 1972 brochure showing a few.
Here more details of period factory one, Accessories 1970, although they varied in design through the years.
Post 3 probably shows them, although heel pad is smaller.
It looks the factory/US distributor supplied only a two items set, different therefore for aftermarket items, which offered the full set including center piece.
Here more period ones.
Another one. Complete set.

Thanx guys for the additional information. I too do think that the ones pictured by Karim are the genuine ones.
Sadly Cocomats doesn't sell the cut-out-pedal ones any longer due to safety reasons.
All they can provide are the ones pictured on their website.
