<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
Over the years I have noted that many 100's had the boot lid seal installed<br>
in the channel in the rear shroud rather than on the boot lid as it always<br>
was on the 6 cylinder cars.<br>
I had always considered that this was a 'restorer's error" but I have<br>
photographs of earlier cars showing the seal positioned in the shroud<br>
channel although, I also have photographs of a very original BN2 which<br>
clearly shows that the seal is on the lid.<br>
I also have a couple of rough but original early 100 boot lids that show no<br>
evidence of adhesive in the corner of their flanges. Contact cement is very<br>
difficult to remove and is usually just painted over leaving evidence of<br>
its presence.<br>
Anyone out there with an early BN1 which they are sure has never been "got<br>
at" that could confirm this for me beforeIi glue the seal onto #174.<br>
