B&Q sell a variety of trim like that.
Someone else posted a link to a (horse?) trailer site that sold it, too...

Yep, I used the B&Q version, I think it's sold as stair tread edging. It's about 1" wide, with a small lip on one edge, I found
it to be just about ideal for edging if you've trimmed the interior panels. Nice and cheap too......!

Looks good.
Only comment I would make is that if the floor gets wet then your legs are going to be sat in waterlogged carpet.
I'm in the middle of fully trimming my fury but am using aluminium treadplate for the floors.

Agreed... Get some nice rubber mats or matting and cut to size.
Easy to clean, and does not get waterlogged. If you want carpet, howabout some Flotex (Kitchen carpet) can get waterlogged and will not smell
later.

2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
