[Healeys] BJ8 door weather seal

Make sure Martin tells you how to install the Bristleflex. I followed his instructions carefully, and haven't had the problems that some people have...a lot of it has to do with the way it overlaps the aluminum striker plate trim, and the way the sill strip overlaps the Bristleflex. There's also a crucial little screw where the weatherstripping turns at the top...Martin will reveal all.

 <!--#yiv7700681208 P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}-->Yes Bristleflex is a far better choice. You can obtain it directly from MacGregor Coactrimming from Dundas, Ontario, Canada. Owner is Martin MacGregor.His phone number is 905-627-4006The best way to contact him is by phone, if you ry through the website, it may be a while. Fantastic to deal with and Bristleflex is great stuff.

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?

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).
