[Healeys] Bootlid Bracket -

[Michael Salter]

 Hi David,
Many thanks for sending Jean that picture however I don't think that is the
correct lid stay anchor for either the car he is restoring or B.#741.
In the interests of ensuring that others do not accept that picture without
further research here is what I have found.

Some years ago I was lucky enough to study and photograph B.#1267 and the
boot lid stay anchor, on the lid, was like this.

You can just make out the body number stamped on the anchor of this very
original 5000 mile car. This car has never been repainted and is an unusual
shade of gunmetal grey.
I'm very confident that this type of stay anchor was used on all 100's
prior to body number 1267.

As I'm sure you are aware the sequence of assembly of the cars was not
strictly in the correct order of body number but I don't believe that this
confusion applies to body components to the same degree that it does to
mechanical ones.

I should also mention that as far as I have been able to determine cars
fitted with this version of the boot lid had the foam rubber seal installed
into the shroud gutter as can be seen in this photo also of B.#1267.

It is interesting to note that the seal did not extend across the lower
edge of the shroud opening.

Very Best Wishes for a Happy Christmas,

Michael Salter
Technical Chairman Concours Guidelines Committee.
