Greg,
Just rebuilt the motor for my BN2. I also needed the "felt" for the
front and rear end caps. I called British Car Specialists and was
told by Mike in the parts department that they just fill the void
with high temp silicone sealer and throw out the felt. I wanted the
felt so I asked Mike to not throw out the nest set. He saved them
for me and sold me the set for a reasonable price. The trick to
installing it is the put the end caps on first and then drive the
felt in the curved hole with a dowel or some such tool until it comes
out the other end. Leave a little sticking out of both ends. Your
choice, silicone or felt. One IS easier than the other.
