Rear Bulkhead Panel (Soft Tops ONLY)
Suitable Models: TR4
$152.69 exc. VAT UK Customers ONLY - VAT (20%) will be calculated at checkout.
This design for stowing away the hood frame sticks behind the seats was short-lived for Triumph, only being used for five years on the TR4 soft top “convertible” models. Please see below for more in-depth descriptions, videos, and frequently asked questions (FAQs).
The TR4 Soft Top Convertibles saw the introduction of the unique stowage area for the folded down soft top hood. Using a similar philosophy to that of the Austin Healey production line for the 100-6 models – there was a rear bulkhead squab cover introduced as a decorative solution to neatly hiding the metalwork of the hood sticks. Behind the sewn and embossed squab cover, there was a hardboard panel including a 2″ thick foam section at the top of this panel which helps keep the shape and fitment of the sewn Hood Frame Three Piece unit cover. Triumph quickly realised that this was not the most thought-out methodology and quickly reverted back to the sewn pvc hood frame envelope covers for the proceeding TR4A models; however, for that four to five year production period – this somewhat clumsy bulkhead and pivoting sewn material cover combination was used on all the “Soft Top” TR4 models.
The panel for rear squab assembly was originally supplied in a black fibreboard-like material, and included a 2″ foam strip along the top edge running from side to side. This was fixed to the rear bulkhead of the car, and acted as the pivot point for the sewn material rear squab assembly unit which was partially mounted to this bulkhead panel.
John Skinner Ltd has used the same templated design based on the original panel for decades – supplying countless numbers of these boards and complete kits over the years. We supply this part in an automotive-grade hardboard material – and include the 2″ foam padding on the top edge to accurately replicate the original design. Unlike other suppliers out there, we at John Skinners are also fully aware of the subtle, but essential difference in shape between the TR4 and TR4A bulkhead panels. This attention to detail and in-depth knowledge further goes to illustrate why we are considered the leading interior trim manufacturers for Triumph TRs, and have been for over 40 years now.

🇪🇺 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.
