Austin-Healey Body Question

[okane@usa.net (Olin Kane)]

I am restoring an A-H 3000 (basket case, literally). The center portion 
of A-H bodies is aluminum but the fenders are steel. There was lots of 
dissimilar metal corrosion on my parts. I notice that after market parts 
places sell a gasket that goes between the aluminum shroud and the 
fenders. However, I don't see this gasket in original A-H documentation. 
Does anyone know if this gasket is original equipment?
