[Healeys] Ash Tray

[Richard Collins]

FWIW, my center shift BN7 had a hole in the fiberglass cover for the ashtray. I covered the fiberglass with dynamat insulation and cut it out for the ashtray as well as the new carpet so it installed above the carpet. It carries change, etc.
I have a disconnected cigarette lighter on the dash panel as well.

Regards,
Richard C
BN7 440

I know that Cocker Spaniels are born with long tails and I am sure that some owners choose not to have their dog's tails docked, but I just don't think that would look quite right.

Install the ashtray.

I can't say definitively, but a) I've never seen a Healey not fitted with an ash tray and b) ash trays were installed on all cars, at least for the American market, until a decade or so ago; carpet only covering the hole would have been awkward. I usually keep a few quarters for meter in mine, and sometimes a spare fuse or two.

'Cigar lighters' were, I believe, an option; the replacement harness for my BJ8 I bought came with a wire lead (brown) for a cigar lighter which, unfortunately I didn't properly insulate and it let some smoke out.

I determined, with your help, that I have an original tunnel cover for my BT7 MkII. Fibre glass, centre change box.
Some of you pointed out peculiarities concerning the ash tray fitting.
I’ll be getting a new tunnel cover carpet and, as these seem to be more or less bespoke, I’m wondering whether to keep the ash tray or fibre glass over the square hole.
Did all original tunnel covers come with a hole fitted for ash trays?
And thus some had the ash tray actually fitted and some had the hole carpeted over?
Or what?
Was the ash tray an optional extra which, in fact, was fitted to most cars. Like wire wheels…..
Nobody will ever smoke in my car. I just use the ash tray for spare fuses, valve caps and the like….
I’ll have to let the carpet people know one way or the other.
