[Healeys] Interior questions

[Rich Chrysler]

Alan, 

There is no padding under the vinyl that covers the waffle pattern panel
behind the rear squab on the early style BN4. It's just matching trim vinyl
glued directly onto the painted steel panel.
The left and right tracks and brackets are readily available from Kilmartin
Sheetmetal in Australia. While you're at it you may need the new channel
strips that the early BN4 uses to mount the correct door threshold rubber
weather strips. They also make superb alloy door threshold aluminum pieces
and don't forget the anodized alloy finishers for the tops of the rear
quarter trim panels.
I always order these bits direct from Kilmartin and they're very quick to
respond and ship.

Rich

Thanks Rich and Steve,
I know it takes some effort to include images and I really appreciate it! 
Yes I do have the sliding top fitting, so now I have a clear idea of what to

do. I guess I'll get in touch with Heritage. I suppose I can find some 
matching vinyl and do it myself. It looks like there is some thin foam pad 
under the vinyl?

On the subject of the top mount slide, Can you dircet me to a source for the

parts that fit and the slide and mount the top frame? Again, I hope all is 
clear, and many thanks.

Alan
