Hi Neil,

That's interesting. I had a look on my copy of the CVI catalogue for Amazons, and the Scandcar on-line one for my 1973 140 and both show two rubber seals for the trunk. The Scancar cat. calls them 'rubber trunk' and 'rubbber trunkedge', so I guess it is the latter that I want.

Since it is forecast to rain in Sydney this weekend and I have a rally to do then, I thought I'd try one of the rubber supply shops to see if I can get a rubber moulding that might do the job. Can you give me some idea of the dimensions so I can try and approximate it? The best would be if you could try and describe the cross-section of the rubber, with some measurements - the height of the rubber and the shape of it would be the most critical.

Thanks in advance

John
