[Healeys] Boot lid seal

[josef-eckert at t-online.de]

All 100s, 100/6s and 3000s had the boot lid seals installed on the boot lid, not in the channel of the rear shroud.
So there is no exception, even not for early 100s.

Over the years I have noted that many 100's had the boot lid seal installed
in the channel in the rear shroud rather than on the boot lid as it always
was on the 6 cylinder cars.
I had always considered that this was a 'restorer's error" but I have
photographs of earlier cars showing the seal positioned in the shroud
channel although, I also have photographs of a very original BN2 which
clearly shows that the seal is on the lid.
I also have a couple of rough but original early 100 boot lids that show no
evidence of adhesive in the corner of their flanges. Contact cement is very
difficult to remove and is usually just painted over leaving evidence of
its presence.
Anyone out there with an early BN1 which they are sure has never been "got
at" that could confirm this for me beforeIi glue the seal onto #174.
