While the Bugeye is in the body shop I need to order a new interior. Since I'm going back with the original Iris Blue I want the interior as close to original as possible and want to see what y'all think about the different suppliers out there. I'm guessing the blue that was originally used has a lot of variations and while I would like the Hardura floors I know they are not available. Personal experiences are preferred, but I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks, Rut
 
I'll 2nd AH Spares....used their complete seat material and foam...in my case the red. I have heard Heritage Trim is of excellent quality, but have no personal experience. Cheers,

Ray,
Thanks! I'll order some samples and go from there. I've also got to locate the ribbed mat for the doors and I would love to find proper Hardura for the floors. I've found the Hardura sets for the rear deck and boot, but only in black.

Scott,
Thanks for the input as well. I'm leaning toward AH Spares since they can supply a complete interior from what I've seen, just need to decide on the floor covering.

Not to hijack, but do people favor putting dynamat or something similar on the floors/tunnel/etc on the cars, or is this not helpful?
 
Yes, it is helpful.....I did not on 60 frog....as it usually is adhesive....and I did not want the adhesive mess if it ever had to come up........ though I put carpet down which was offered as an option by the Healey Company...according to Horler.

Stock interiors for floor covering

I love my Stock Interior - and you can't beat the price, that said, I just re-upholstered the seats with black/red piping - while it is all fine, the red in the piping doesn't quite match the red in the carpet - moral of the story - buy everything from one supplier then the colours will be the same.

IIRC people have used ribbed floor mat from a hardware store for the in door rubber
 
AHSpares was my choice for interior. Excellent fit. I went with black leather seats, carpet and rubber mats.
The mats are killer.
