Harold,
The holes in the door, are they 1/8=94 off ahead of the ones on the mouldin=
g? If so move it ahead so it fits, then your overhang will likely be taken =
care of then you have to cut the front of the piece so you can close the do=
or with a small gap.

Subject: [Healeys] Cockpit Moulding Doesn't Fit
Hello again,
My BT7 was missing the RH aluminum cockpit moulding on the top of the door.=
I had the other three pieces and bought the missing 4th piece used on eBay=
. When I went to fit the eBay moulding it required some minor reshaping to =
get it too match the shape of the door. It fits the shape of the door very =
well but the holes are off by about 1/8" and the moulding overhangs the rea=
r of the door slightly. I measured the hole location on the eBay piece agai=
nst the original LH moulding and the distance to the hole from the end is o=
ff by the same 1/8". I can't put new holes in the door as the they would be=
too close to the existing holes.
Is this just another example of variation during manufacturing or could the=
eBay moulding be from an earlier Healey (BA1 or BA2)? I would like to find=
a solution that doesn't require drilling new holes in the door.
