Underfelt Sound Proofing Kit
Suitable Models: TR4A, TR5, TR250, TR6
€137.22 exc. VAT UK Customers ONLY - VAT (20%) will be calculated at checkout.
Although its main purpose is to help reduce the sound and heat coming from the engine and gearbox – this felt kit is also crucial in keeping the correct depth/thickness under the carpets resulting in the best fitment of the carpets.
In line with the carpet set – and the fundamental changes made to the position of the hand-operated safety brake, as well as the gear shift lever – the associated under carpet felt was also updated in terms of the shapes and number of pieces. The material used underneath the actual carpets for a reduction in sound and heat from the engine and gearbox remained the same – with basic natural jute felt being used. The insulation kit includes pieces for the main front and rear footwell floor pans, the front gearbox clutching housing, and the rear heelboard/bulkhead shelf behind the seats. The most obvious difference being the omission of the prop shaft felt – as this was no longer required due to the inclusion of the moulded hardboard panel to help house the handbrake opening slot.
Note that not all carpet pieces will include corresponding felt pieces in line with the suitability for that area, and other shapes may have been combined for this felt kit to ease the fitment process. You should consider using this under carpet felt kit in conjunction with a John Skinner Ltd carpet set to achieve the best results for your restoration.
You may wish to consider at this time – our replacement moulded hardboard Propshaft Handbrake Panel depending on the condition of your original.

🇪🇺 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.
