Rubber

2003-03-12 by dave barton

OK Guys down to the nitty gritty.........on the steel chassis cars
was there a rubber gasket on all the members that the body shell sat 
on. When I removed the shell from the frame origionally I do remember
a draft seal kind of foam on a couple of tubes but not on all........
maybe it had decintegrated over the years.
 Also, obviously there is a trunk seal that sits in the trough 
surrounding the "boot" sorry!.....is there supposed to be a seal 
where the bonnet comes down and sits in the slot just in front of the 
windshield as well as where it comes down and meets the top of the 
fenders.As far as the door seals go I will be using a generic bubble
seal as used on the 80's and 90's GM's.
  One other question does anyone know the origin of the electric 
window cranks I am in need of one.........on the suybject of interior 
door release handles I have an excellent source of British parts up 
here in Canada and I have been told that the Ford Prefect possibly
used the same handles as the Marcos, I should find out if they will 
work by next week if they do I will let you guys know .
  Pics of finished painted shell to follow.......finally
            Cheers Dave #5577
