I must disagree with Rich here: I have the later BN-2 type bracket and seal
installed on my BN1 and it is very effective in moving?the water?leak from the
top of my left thigh to the outside of my left calf.

William,
But were you successful in installing the bonnet lock and adjusting as needed?
What method did you use?
This door seal subject has already been answered and can be found complete
with pictures on John Sims' excellent web site here:

The "top of door" seals you refer to are usually called scuttle seals. Your
'54 BN1 should have the much simpler early scuttle seal. The later seals as
added to later BN2's is a very complicated arrangement that incorporates stand
off brackets and metal locking strips to position and secure the channel type
strips. All said and done it is as ineffective as the earlier ones.

Subject: 100-4 Furlex install & top of door seals
First of all Thank you Rich C. for your answer on the striker pin for the
bonnet. It seems once you have answered a question no one else chimes in. A
compliment to your knowledge on the esoteric Healey stuff.
This question is for the furflex dust seal that fits beneath the door panel
on the 100-4 doors. Does it extend beyond the vinyl covered door panel at the
top and bottom or should it be trimmed to come just as long as the sides of
the panel. Also it is glued first to the panel before install to insure a
smooth line right?..........
Finally , should it be finished or do we merely see the inner rubber hose
poking out of the top.
On a seperate topic , do you put the more elaborate top of door seals like a
BN2 on BN1's or do you do the more simpler BN1 style
Thanks -William '54 BN1
