The tank back in place along with some Araldite on the joint as an extra precaution.
So I noticed a load of holes on the U channel that the boot lid sits in and began wondering what they are about. I scour the Ahead 4 Healey's and Moss websites and find nothing so dig through some old photos and see on one that there appears to be some rivets on them. I call AH4H who tell me that they have recently started selling these but not yet listed them at the grand price of £0.35 each so I bought a load. I decided to drill the holes out for them in the inner body panel and paint the holes for rust prevention. This means that I could not fit the shroud for the last time today, oh well.
I will check the paperwork with the car to see it the numbers on the trim match the body number. I'm not fussed if they don't, just curious. As it is I haven't fitted the body number plate on the car and actually I realise that I don't have any number yet fitted, I guess I probably should do that. Part of the reason for my indifference is that the Heritage Center couldn't find my car listed and so I don't have a certificate for it, a shame. Now, I am not worried about the resale value as I am not going to sell it so it is just a thing that annoys me for some reason. I am very pleased that they fit though.
