I may have found some on eBay. I emailed them to see if it is in fact the real thing. James From:

I will soon be into the carpet on the 300K. I plan on using the factory jute padding which I believe is real jute (Corchorus olitorius).
I thought about trying to purchase a small amount of it for any areas that are going bad. The joke is on me. If you go looking for jute you will find hundreds if not thousands of advertisements for “jute” padding. The problem is that none of it is actually made with jute like the ones
in our 300’s. One of the things about real jute is that although it does absorb moisture it also breaths and releases it slowly. Almost all the replacements are synthetic material which do not
absorb any moisture and therefore any water will just wick to the bottom and sit on the floor pans. I guess I will just cut out some of the jute from under the middle of seats, high ground so to speak, if needed and place a small amount of closed cell foam in its place. I can
then use the cut out good jute to fix any areas, like around the pedals that may need it. It is interesting that jute is used extensively around the world but try finding some thick real jute in the USA. James --
