Hi Bill,
Rich was faster than me. He has excellent pictures how it should look like.
Think you have got the pictures from him. My BN1 was one of the latest with
the aluminium boot lid built in May 1954.
I can fully confirm what Rich wrote with the exception on mine the box like
steel bracket has got only 2 countersunk screws to be fixed to the boot lid.
Where the box faces the boot lid there is also a felt padding between the box
and the boot lid skin to avoid damage. Its a very rigid design and you really
need to be careful when opening and closing the boot lid.
If you need more pictures also from my car, just tell me.

Hi Bill,
No problem How about these pictures. It is a rectangular box like steel
bracket with an ear on one side that is secured to the left edge of the alloy
boot lid with 3 countersunk screws with washers and nuts. Many have
disappeared over the years due to the edge of the boot lid skin being stressed
around these screw holes and eventually cracking the area.

Subject: [Healeys] Boot lid bracket
I'm working on the boot lid from my BN1. I have two alloy lids and neither has
a stay bracket. I've looked at the Anderson-Moment book and I can see what the
bracket and its attachment to the frame looks like for the steel lid, but the
structure of the frame for the alloy lids I have are not the same. There is no
reinforcement attached to the frame. Does anyone have an alloy lid with the
stay bracket attached and can I get a picture for reference?
Thanks.
