[Healeys] trunk lid rubber buffers

[Michael Salter]

Whilst researching for the Guidelines some time ago I spent quite a bit of
time on those boot lid buffers. Part No. 4G8595
They are somewhat illusive!
They appear in the 100 parts list as being used in the 3 chromed steel top
bow retainers but no mention of any buffers for the boot lid.
They appear in the BN6 parts list as being used on the mounting arms for
the side screens and for the boot lid although oddly they aren't listed in
the part number index for the boot lid location.
They are listed in all the 3000 parts lists for the boot lid.
As far as I can figure the buffers used for the  chromed steel top bow
retainers are significantly smaller than those used for the boot lid or for
that matter the side screen mounting arms. (See photo).
All a bit confusing however I  will work on a Guidelines correction
regarding these.
