The seal I bought for mine was too wide and sat on top of the lip of the
channel
it was supposed to fit into. This made it too tall to fit under the
bonnet when
closed. I took a utility knife and cut a slit about 1/2 inch
deep in the bottom
of the seal so the lip of the channel could slide up into
it. Came out to the
right height in the process. Doug ....o~'o

[Spridgets] BE Bonnet seal
I just bought a bonnet seal from Sports & Classics
for Chips (the'58)and
installed it in the cowl channel last night with the
V-groove upwards. When I
close the bonnet, it's WAY too tall (~3/8" above the
cowl). I remember someone
had this issue last year, so I thought that I'd ask
the pertinent questions-1)
Did I install this wrong? and 2) How much needs to
come off the backside of
the seal to fit correctly?
