Hello Healey Listers
Im' now replacing the cement asbestos heatshield panels on my BJ7 - what type
of paint / finish should I use to remain authentic looking and to protect
these panels from road road grime?
I'm returning the replacement panels I bought from AH Spares because the floor
panel doesn't fit and the other panels are too thin. I made new panels from
1/4" hardibacker and will re-use the original spacer blocks. What type of
adhesive should I use to the attach the spacers to the panels that will resist
heat? The original adhesive was a very tough flexible rubber cement of some
type.
Also what finish, if any, was the oak wood battery block. If no finish, I was
thinking of a clear matte urethane finish to protect it from dirt. My
original block was painted black later but I couldn't tell what was underneath
if anything.
