[Healeys] Gas tank bottom seal

[Bob Spidell]

Can you tell by looking at it?  This seal doesn't look like it would absorb water--it almost looks like solid rubber 
only much lighter and more compressible.  The old seal, which I got from Moss 20 or so years ago, does not have the 
wedge-shaped profile (give Moss credit for improving the product over time).

I replaced my boot pan last year.  It rusted through at the rear, next to the shroud, likely due to water getting past 
the boot lid seal (more defective British parts--it only lasted 45 years).  There is no rust around the rectangular hole 
in the boot that the gas tank rests in.
