[Healeys] Trunk Seal

Although this does not apply to Mike's BN2 there is a 3rd opinion regarding seals on aluminium boot lids.

Gary,



As regards aluminium boot lid seals there are at least two strong opinions:



 


One says there was no seal at all at the boot lid, but on the boot shroud opening. This might be only with very early 100s, but not confirmed.


 


The other which I share (for cars built at least from early 1954), as my car was fitted with the seal on the aluminium boot lid when I bought it unrestored. 


On my car´s boot lid the seal starts and ends at the boot hinge support bracket on the left side of the boot lid.


 


To my wisdom on the steel lids it was glued in in two pieces and the ends to meet at the middle of both sides.

That is an interesting bit of trivia!
I have an aluminum boot lid, but would like to know where the cut ends on both the alum & steel lids.

Where the cut ends up depends if it is a steel or aluminium boot lid.

Mike it is the correct seal for a 100 and the sharp edge goes to the outside. Where the cut ends up depends if it is a steel or aluminium boot lid.

Is this the correct cross section for the 100 trunk seal.  Of course it is a Moss item I bought a few years ago.  Just getting around to addressing the trunk area.  Which side goes towards the inside of the trunk?  All the way around in one piece? Where is the cut ends end up?
