Thanks for that yes I ment heel board and what ever that piece is in rear bins it's against the outer edge it almost looks like a piece of box section but as of yet I can't seem to find out what it is called

That bit is attached to the inner sill and is the inner sill stiffener. This also attaches to the inner arch front close out panel.
