[Healeys] 100/4 Cockpit Surround

[Ken Fleming]

If my memory serves me I think the surround covering was leather as an option not vinyl.
Also you could have your dash leather as well and the two were typically done together.

Looks great and is what was done on all Bugeyes.  The other pieces were Brite Dip anodized at Ano-Brite in North Hollywood along with the windscreen frame.  They specialize in British car anodizing.  That was back in 2000.  The three cockpit surround pieces plus the windscreen frame cost me $125 back then.  Four years ago I had the four pieces of cockpit surround for my BN2 estimated by Ano-Brite at $500!  The increased regulations by California trying to save us from ourselves has driven the mom and pop chrome platers and anodizers out of business and increased the cost of equipment and regulations for the surviving larger businesses.  Of course the increase in cost is passed on to the customer.  One reason I send my chrome plating to Canada.
