Footwell A Post Panels:
- Fully trimmed Hardboard Panels with 3mm Foam Padding.
- Includes trimmed cut out section on Right Hand Footwell, and material to cover associated bodywork.
- When supplied in Leather – we reduce the thickness of appropriate pieces using our in-house Leather-Skiving machine. This allows for a better finish when trimmed to the car as the material is more pliable, without losing its core strength. This service is offered at no extra cost.
Note that this part is discounted when purchased as part of the complete Trim Panel Kit set.

Please note that the colour names refer to internal John Skinner Ltd names, not necessarily the names Austin Healey originally used for these colours.
Due to industry-wide inconsistencies in production and record-keeping, it is widely accepted that the interpretation of original shades varies depending on who you ask. As a result, John Skinner Ltd offers multiple “original” shade options for you to make your final choice from. Below is a list of these accepted “original” colour choices that John Skinners can offer for your Healey restoration project.
Black
Dark Blue
AH Blue
Bright Red
Cherry Red
Matador Red
Ivory
Sand
Parchment
Light Stone Beige

Biscuit Light Tan
CUSTOM COLOURS/COMBINATIONS ALSO AVAILABLE
Note that we can also offer a variety of custom “non-original” shades if you prefer a more bespoke finish. For a full and complete list of options please view our Materials & Colours library.
SAMPLES/COLOUR CONFIRMATIONS
As part of the ordering process, we will arrange for samples to be sent for final confirmation – so browse and shop with complete peace of mind, knowing that we will guide you through step-by-step with all the information you require.
Please note that all materials are subject to colour shade differences between production batches. There may be subtle differences in colour shading between sample cuttings and final production material.
What materials are available?
We can manufacture the A Post Footwell Panels in either Vinyl (Ambla), Leathercloth (Vynide), or Leather.
What material is original for this model of car?
Many cars of this era left the factory with Leathercloth (Vynide) covered panels. This material is often referred to as “Rexine” in the original parts books and restoration guides. We can offer these parts in the original Leathercloth material; please be aware that there is a limited colour range available in this material. Unless specifically instructed we would standardly manufacture this part in Vinyl rather than Leathercloth.
Do you offer different qualities of materials?
No, here at JSM we always maintain using the best quality raw materials available to us in the colour range we offer. This applies to our Vinyls (Ambla), Leathercloths (Vynide), and Leathers. Please note that we do offer two different styles of “finish” when it comes to the Leather. The quality is the same, but the finish is slightly different. Please refer to our Materials & Colours library for more information.
Do the Footwell Panels come with the Furflex on rear edges?
No, The 100-6 / 3000 versions of this panel did not originally come with Furflex pre-attached to the panels. Unlike the earlier 100-4 models, which featured a very basic Tac-On furflex – the later 100-6 and 3000 models switched to a more advanced metal-clip / channel draught excluder which was fitted independently to the panels.
What are the actual Panels made from?
We use 2.5mm Hardboard for the backing panels. This hardboard is pre-treated to improve its strength and water resistance. We have used this material for many years to good effect, and find it to be the most suitable material for this backing panel. Please refer to our Materials & Colours library for more information.
Are these Panels pre-foamed?
Yes, but only partly. The Left Hand A Post Footwell Panel is fully foamed 3mm scrim-backed nylon foam prior to the upholstery being added. The Right Hand A Post Panel is foamed on the majority, but not on the area surrounding the hole cut-out.
What is the large hole on the Right Side A Post Panel for?
This hole cutting on the Right Hand A Post Panel was introduced for the BN4 models onwards. It was done to give the Driver, for Right Hand Drive (RHD) cars, slightly more toe room next to the Throttle pedal. As these were mass produced cars, the Healey production line included this type of panel in both LHD and RHD models. Note that we include enough loose material to trim to the actual bodywork of the car, behind this hole opening – so that all the materials/colours match up nicely in this area.
Why is there a small flap of material rear end of this panel?
We leave loose flaps on a few of our panels intentionally. This allows you to achieve the best finish when fitting the parts. This flap will often tuck underneath the adjacent edge of another trimmed panel or in a channel of bodywork piece; resulting in any exposed bodywork metal being hidden from sight.
Due to the range of products we offer, and our worldwide customer base, we can only calculate an accurate shipping cost once Your Enquiry/Quote has been received by Jonathon. As there is no payment required at this stage – use our Quote Builder in full confidence, with zero commitment to purchase – and send us your Quotation request for your interior trim requirements; and we will get in touch directly with you with an updated Quote, which will include the shipment costs.
In the meantime, basic guideline shipping costs are outlined below.
(For all non-UK shipments – the final price per box depends on the size of the box – which is dictated by the items in your final selection)
UK: £10.50 – £30 per box
Europe & European Union: £20 – £150 per box
North America & Canada: £28.50 – £160 per box
Rest of World: £50.00 – £400 per box
Generally speaking, a complete car interior kit (Trim Panels, Carpets, Seat Covers, Boot/Trunk area, Soft Top Hoods etc) normally requires 2 x FULL Size Boxes, with some cars needing slightly less, and some slightly more.

🇪🇺 EU Shipments / Brexit 🇪🇺
As of January 2021, the UK is no longer part of the European Union (EU). As a result, several changes have been implemented which affects how EU based customers now purchase products from the UK.
It is not as problematic and complicated as people say. John Skinner Ltd sends hundreds of shipments to the EU; and rarely do we encounter any issues at all; and this is due to us working closely with our shipping agents to offer two choices that help to simplify the process for you.
You now have 2 Options you can choose from for shipping John Skinner products to the EU:
============
Option 1: Standard International Shipping
This is the ‘standard’ method of purchasing items from the UK, since the UK left the EU (‘Brexit’).
You will pay John Skinner Ltd for 1) the parts ordered, and 2) the shipping cost to ship from the UK to your address.
You will NOT be charged UK VAT (20% Tax). (Before Brexit, you would have been charged UK VAT @ 20%).
Once your parts ship, you will be contacted directly by our shipping agent (normally DHL), who will request payment from you for 1) Your Local Country Tax based on the value of the John Skinner Invoice, 2) a small admin fee (normally around €15). Once this is paid, your goods are released from customs and delivered to your address.
You will NOT be charged any Duties/Tariffs. All the parts we supply are made by John Skinner Ltd in the UK, and we provide all the correct paperwork & documentation and sign declarations to ensure that no Duties/Tariffs apply to our goods. (This is often the part that most people get confused by with Brexit – they assume that anything they buy from the UK incurs Duties/Tariff charges – our products are 0% Duty/Tariff rated).
Note that this shipping option is the default choice offered when Jonathon is raising your initial Quote; if you wish to discuss the second option (see below) – then just mention this to Jonathon once he has made direct contact with you about your enquiry.
============
Option 2: Prepaid Duties & Taxes *** VERY POPULAR OPTION ***
To simplify the purchasing process, you can choose our Prepaid Duties & Taxes option.
This process is becoming the most popular option for our EU customers as it makes everything very simple and straightforward, akin to how it was before the UK left the EU.
We will calculate & include all applicable import duties, taxes, and customs fees in your order total – and everything is paid up front to John Skinner Ltd.
Once the parts are ready and are shipped – you will NOT pay any additional costs, or have to do anything more – your order will be delivered to your address as normal. Our shipping agent (normally DHL) pays the Local Country Tax on behalf of John Skinner Ltd and they Invoice us for this later. This ensures that you won’t face any unexpected charges upon delivery, and your order will clear customs smoothly and quickly.
You can enjoy a more streamlined shopping experience with this option; like Brexit never even happened.
If you are interested in this option, please let Jonathon know once he has contacted you directly with your updated Quote via email; and he can update the Quote accordingly to reflect this choice.
