Hi all. I am in the process of assembling my freshly painted Healey. =
Back in 2015 I had everything re-chromed (I thought). Today I was =
planning to put the front fenders on the car and remembered that I have =
to install the rechromed fender spears first.=20
Well, time has a way of erasing things that you needed to remember. I =
now do remember that in the process of removing the chrome spear on the =
drivers side, the studs snapped. So apparently back then, I sent =
everything out to the plater, with the exception of the spears. I=E2=80=99=
ve now remembered and realized that I had purchased a reproduction spear =
from Moss for the drivers side (and I guess I intended to just re-chrome =
the original for the passenger side, but never ddid). So today I put the =
repro on, and was extremely disappointed with the quality. It has many =
ripples. Also I now find I have nothing for the passenger side. Car =
assembly is now on hold. Phooey!
Two questions:
1 Does anyone have a set of re-chromed originals that they would =
be wiling to sell?
2 Are there any sources for high quality reproduction spears?
Thanks for =E2=80=9Clistening=E2=80=9D.

Thanks all on the responses to my question on the 3M trim adhesive. =
After viewing a demo on youtube, I managed to get good results, and my =
boot lid gasket is now securely in place.=20
