For original hardtop seals and parts try Bolt-On Healeys (Bill Bolton),
Tricarb@aol.com <mailto:Tricarb@aol.com>, PH: 541-895-5576, FX:
541-895-4091. This info is about 1-2 years old so don't if any has changed.
Note: info is actually 5-6 years old since post was in 2004!
Anyone who have current info please post to the list.
Thanks!
