[Brian Glenn]

The book of Norman, p.160 says regarding trunk hinge gaskets."Exterior door handle, wiper bezel and deck lid hinge gaskets were oiled paper and did not show."CheersB

Jim,I think that what they're talking about when they say "headlight ground" is the weird double-ground connector that is used to ground the two ground leads from the light harness.  I have attached a picture of one.  This one is broken.  It should be symmetrical with a loop on each end.  These loops accept the barrel connectors from the headlight and signal/parking-light harnesses.  There's one on each side and it mounts using the threaded stud from the rubber bumper for the hood.  This is a pretty rare part.  I checked the British Wiring website and couldn't find it.  Maybe if you contact them and email the picture they can help you.  Otherwise, you may have to cannibalize a parts car.  Good luck..

Hi All
Just back from SUNI…great event and an awesome turnout despite COVID concerns. Kudos to Claudia and Buck Trippel for organizing an excellent event.

At the concours, my car got 2nd place in the Stock Tiger class. I am starting to gather info to correct the minor items that in total dragged me down. Looking for some photos of the following ORIGINAL/CORRECT items.

Headlight Ground: Not sure what exactly was wrong but the comment says Incorrect headlight ground. I could really use a photo of an original headlight ground that shows the location and a closer shot of the actual connection.

Trunk Lid Buffers: Again, not exactly sure what I got wrong. The comment says no slot for buffers? It is in the same comment saying my trunk seal was upside down (I knew that… thought I could sneak by, but the judges were really sharp.). Are there slots in the trunk seal where the buffers make contact? If so, photos please. Also Photos of your buffers to include fasteners.

Battery Wood Spacer: I always thought mine was original, but the judges did not think so. A photo of an original spacer in the correct position would really help. Dimensions also a help.

I would also appreciate some photos of the fasteners that affix the trunk hinges to the body and the trunk lid. Again, I am looking for original fasteners/configuration/finish.I did not lose any points, but I heard the judges talking about these items.

Also got dinged for my oil filter assembly being dirty generally worn and beat up. Book of Norman does not specify color of fittings and pipe. Any guidance is appreciated.
I had a few other items incorrect that I knew about and decided to live with, but in the end the total deductions did me in.

Thanks
Jim
