Yahboy housing would be good for a bigger rumble, say an 800 if they ever come out with one, but if so, PLEaSE add a pre post switch to the di, or at least make it pre master volume. Post master is no bueno. Tuner out is a must (also great for daisy chaining without the need for ab box). Also a 4 button footswitch would be uber, for the shape buttons as well as overdrive. And a little place to store it when you pull off the grille/logo plate. The housing would add enough weight to not need the magnets, thus making it more appealing to non rumble cab owners.
Just picked up mine!

First things first! Welcome to the Fender Rumble Club, savofenno!
You are member #423 
It's nice to see an original first version Rumble 100 still in action 10 years later. Yes, the black carpeting that was popular then on many different brands of amps came to be disparagingly nick named 'rat fur'. Stripping it off and putting on new Tolex will be a chore to be sure, but if you dislike it that much, go for it. Just have plenty of curse words handy.
and whiskey. 
Rumble On! 
Thanks for your quick answer! My cat has already began to strip the felt cover off. I worry mostly how much parts i have to mount off to get all felt away.First things first! Welcome to the Fender Rumble Club, savofenno!

I just got off the phone with Fender, and while it took a little bit of doing the Fender Specialist (as they are now called) was able to locate the parts list for the V3 Rumble 100 combo and also the V3 Rumble 112 cabinet. The part numbers for the 12" woofers are different, so the woofers themselves are different. If they were the same, they would have the identical part number. I also have sent an email for more in depth intel, but this may take some time. As always
I've been looking on the Fender.com.au site - It seems there is no 112 for Australia, or a 2x10 except in the 500 combo.

Ok, so does 'rat fur' denote that my Rumble 15 is first version?
That you'll have to learn by doing, but I wouldn't be surprised if you have to remove everything leaving just the empty box.
Yes. V2 & V3 both have a heavy textured vinyl covering that is not the more expensive and tougher Tolex fabric.
Since they are new designs just recently becoming available in Europe and America, there isn't any reason why they won't make their way to Australia. Go ahead and contact Fender Australia directly and ask them when (not if) the Rumble 112 and 210 cabinets will be available for purchase. Should be soon.
I may just do that. It will be a while before I'm ready to buy, but no harm in exploring options and then planning a way to achieve the prize.
I know, I already looked. I have one of the narrower ones on one of my guitars.
If I run across one of those wide tweed straps I might have to steal your idea.
Just sell it and buy a new 200 or 500.
