[Healeys] Steering Column Seals

[Bob Spidell]

Check with David Nock at BCS.  If he doesn't have them, you should be 
able to fab them; use the screw holes and the Moss illustrations to get 
dimensions (or maybe David or someone else knows).  The 'felt' is 
nothing special, just thin (probably the lightest felt weight you can 
buy, in grey).

The blanking panel has a single felt 'seal'--same for the R/H pedal 
holes--the steering column has a plate and a felt on either side of the 
scuttle.
