[Healeys] BT7 Mk II Door Shut Finisher - Adjustment?

Hello Dan -

- I agree with the other gentleman that it looks that the aluminum panel should move inboard just a little bit farther, but I also believe these have been kind of oversized to be able to be trimmed. Remember that these were handbuilt cars. None of them fit together perfectly. When I did my 100-6, there was some trimming to be done and the gap around the outside edge of the rear fender is going to have a piece of piping that starts at the top of the fender and goes down to the edge to the outer rocker. That also takes up some of that space and smooths out that transition. Hope the pic helps some.

>> It looks like the shut panel can go a little bit further towards the center of the car, there is a gap there. On the other hand it doesn’t look like it will fit anyway. Do you still have the originals? So you can compare them.
