[Healeys] trunk lid rubber buffers

[Jean Caron]

Michael,
There are several of those buffers at various locations on different models. I know the ones you mean on the 3 chromed steel top bow retainers, I cannot believe that they were the shape of those available now originally as they get crushed, pulled out , tear etc in a matter of a few months.
On the 6 cyl. cars you have one size on the rear shroud where it meets with the lower lip of the boot, then you have two small ones on the doors where it meets with the swinging part of the door handle, then 2 more on the sidescreen mounting arms and two more on the top front corner of the sidescreens, one per side.

Jean

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.

The three button buffers on the tri-carb are 14mm x 3mm.



On my BN2 they are slightly wider – 15mm  . . .  and looking a bit worse for wear after 67 years.  I must replace them.



In Imperial measurement, let’s say 9/16” x 1/8”



I didn’t pull one out to check the diameter of the spear.

What is the size for the three rubber buffers for the boot lid? I have a bag of about 50 and wonder if they are correct for that application.

The painter put some on that are way too large in diameter.

Thanks,
