Carpet and Boot sets

Getting ready to put carpet in and do the boot for the 100. I thought I would look for a few suggestions on sourcing a good set of these kits at a reasonable cost.

I have a quote from Heritage which I'm sure that would be ideal, wondering if there are others Moss, AHS etc anyone would recommend.

Thanks in advance,
Michael.
 
Michael,

If you do not care about originality, then i think you can go with one of the Moss kits and be happy. I have been installing a Heritage kit. The material is very nice, but it is a good bit of work. I think the Moss kit does not follow the original design, but may fit better right out of the box.
 
Many people are asking for kits that fit "right out of the box. Though you may not realize it, you need to have a bit of excess to be able to trim for the best fit in your particular car. Healeys varied too much to allow suppliers to make their kits a "drop in" fit. Not a big deal, trial fit each piece, mark with chalk where trimming is needed, trim with scissors, and glue in. On to the next piece.
For the Hundered, you'll need not only the boot lining Armacord kit, but you'll need the Armacord rear cockpit kit, that includes the vinyl wheel arch covers and the spare tire sleeve, battery compartment lid Armacord/vinyl, and straps, under seat Armacord, etc.
Also remember the Hundreds and Longbridge 100/Six had colour keyed Armacord in the boot to match the interior. Many supplliers can supply these in at least red, blue and black so check it out before ordering.
 
MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCE!!! CAN'T BE SAID ENOUGH!!
