Title: FC Boot Seal?
Post by: Steve Christie on May 06, 2000, 12:00:00 PM
I have bought 2 different boot seals for my FC, and neither of them have fitted.  If any-one knows where l could by a correct boot seal, (and both front quater vert seals) l would appreciate if they could let me know.                   Thanks    hotfc@iprimus.com.au

They are mongrels of things to fit, and it doesn't seem to matter whether you get them from Rare Spares or somewhere else.  They always seem to fit around the top or along the bottom, but rarely both.  The rubber can be made to fit either way up, and neither seems to produce a perfect seal.
At the last FE-FC Nationals I did see one that fitted perfectly, and I believe the secret was cutting and shutting the rubber so that it was the right way up to produce a good seal along each edge.  I think the trick was to reverse the part that runs along the base of the boot-lid.
Hey, if you've got two anyway, it's worth a try!
Hope that helps.
