[Healeys] BJ8 door weather seal

Mon Apr 10 17:39:45 MDT 2017

I got mine from  <http://www.macgregorukcarparts.com/>
http://www.macgregorukcarparts.com/ They will even send you a small sample
to test the color mathing. I was very happy with their service, etc.

Subject: [Healeys] BJ8 door weather seal

I need to replace the door seals on my BJ8. I see that Furflex and
Bristleflex are used. Furflex is available from Moss. Where is Bristleflex
available and is it a better choice?

side pillars in the door openings on each side.? I think then the inner
frame will slide out.? I'm glad you got the Pilkington glass.? I got one of
the less expensive screens and it was not wide enough to seal from side to
side. After spending the extra $300 or so for the Pilkington the seals went
on better.? Take care,? George Haywood, '65 bj8

Listers,

Add Clausger's Original Austin-Healey : The Restorer's Guide to 100, 
100-Six and 3000.  The third link is for a seller with zero feedback. 
But the first two are from Mid Life Books who has been around for many 
years.

My immediate response would have been 'yes,' as I've sealed two new 
(steel) tanks with no negative results (one's been sealed for at least 
20 years).  However, Hirsch's own FAQ says 'SEALER SHOULD ONLY BE USED 
AS A LAST RESORT'  (the whole doc is in caps).  So, if a company that 
has a vested interest in selling sealer doesn't recommend it, I wouldn't 
do it again, esp. with an Al tank, which should be more impervious to 
rusting (I believe Al forms a thin oxide layer on its surface anyway).
