Dave,
Having been under mine quite a few times when
removing/replacing the gearbox, I did notice that there were rubber "pads" about
2" by 3" where the body sat on the frame. Can't recall if all points had
them, but I suspect so.
My "boot" seal was just a u-shaped strip of fairly hard
rubber. Like the door seal without the rubber?? I had nothing in the
trough. I put the GM style rubber seal around the lip of the trunk body,
not the lid.
Are the door handles you mention the straight piece of
chrome? Like in this pic?:
If so, I need one!
Thanks,
Don Lattimer

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
