Hi guys, need some help. Attached is a photo of my 1971 XK flooring. Does anyone know of a source for this material? To give you some sense of scale, note that the two holes are approximately one inch apart. Also, please note that this sample is dirty, how white it should be I'm not sure.

Since I never got a response on this post, I assumed that nothing existed that matches the original product. So far, that is the case. I did a lot of research and had several product samples mailed to me, but nothing that was an exact match.
I do not know at what point, but Chris Craft started putting in carpet instead of vinyl in the XK19. Gotta love the shag they decided to use. My boat is hull # 2016, so it was relatively early in the 1971 production run.
My research shows that Nautolex originally manufactured the flooring used in my boat. What I've decided to use since no one makes this flooring any more, is a Nautolex Marine Vinyl Flooring. The color I'm using is called Sandstone. The color is as close as I could find but the texture is different. One can find this product by doing a Google search, with several upholstery places offering this product.
I have ordered 8 linear yards to re-do my floor. It is sold in a width of 72 inches. I'm purchasing through a local upholstery shop and will not incur shipping charges, but at a cost of $26.95 a yard.
I'm attemting to attach a link so anyone interested can at least look at waht I'm talking about.
