Carpet fitting guides?

So after pondering a while about the best way to refresh my 356B T6, I ordered in a full replacement carpet set from Euro Auto Interior in California (*the irony of it...) and wondered if anyone has seen a good article of fitting carpets and side runners back to the 356?

My 'Porsche 356 Owners Workshop Manual' doesn't cover carpets, and 'Restored by Hand - The "Nuts and Bolts" of Porsche 356 Restoration by Ron Roland' talks about the carpet parts but has no pictures which makes it super hard to follow!

I'm guessing is spray glue and patience, and I've also got new runner parts from Roger Bray restorations to fit to hold the carpets on the sides - just no guide to fitting those either :-/

Here's where I am at the moment and a shot from Euro Auto Interiors of what the finished product should look like.

Any advice or links much appreciated :)

Just to point out, after studying many photos and 'Restored by Hand' a little more I have an error in my carpet parts layout

The pink arrows with 1. on the parts are the '1. Speaker panel carpet' referred to on page 152 of the before book and should be installed first

The green arrows are the rear seat backs, which can be installed any time

The parts labelled 5 are the '5. T-6 B and C longitudinal carpet' referred to on page 154 of Restored by Hand

There's a starting article here where it shows the holes cut for the speaker and the Heater Outlet in the parts 1 and 5 above
