[Healeys] Interior questions

[Rich Chrysler]

Alan,

First we need to determine what interior your '58 BN4 should have. The BN4
built up to April of '58 will have the earlier  so called "Longbridge style"
of interior trimming. Production of the BN4 stopped in early April of '58
when they concentrated on producing the all new BN6. When they returned to
BN4 production in September of '58 the rear quarters were completely
redesigned along with the top bows and how they mount and fit.

Does your car have small sliding tracks for the mounting of the top bows? If
so, it will be the earlier "Longbridge" style interior. Therefore the
compound curved rear wheel arches will be covered with matching interior
vinyl and completed with a forward rear quarter trim panel as in this
picture. In behind the lift out rear squab panel, your rear metal will also
have matching interior vinyl glued all across that area where the top bows
stow when down.
 
I'm not sure what you refer to as "the bottom part" unless it's the rear
quarter trim panel. That should be part of a full interior kit. I only deal
with Heritage Upholstery and Trim so I cannot say what Moss may or may not
have included.

The front right interior trim panel always has the cutout with matching
vinyl glued to the relief metal in behind. This was to allow clearance on a
RH drive car for the driver's throttle foot.

I replaced the carpets in my '58 BN4. The rear wheel arches were carpeted by
the po. Looking at Moss, it seems that I have the correct vinyl upper piece
that is the forward section up to the top bow cavity (hope this makes sense)
Anyone know where I could get the bottom part?

Also the right front kick panel has a large hole, just like I see in Moss.
Is
there something (a map pocket?) that goes in there?

Thanks, Alan
