Rear of bonnet seal now avaiable

Post by Derek Minter » 03 May 2026 16:09

The A40 Farina Club continues to have parts made for our cars.

Recently we have had the, previously unavailable, rubber seal profile that fits at the rear of the bonnet manufactured. Below a photo of it fitted to my car.

I would like to assure you that no clothes pegs were injured during the trial fit..! I used Gorilla Contact adhesive which worked well. A length costs £23 plus £5 postage to members.

Congratulations on continuing to expand the spares service, Derek.

I wonder when that seal was introduced; my early Mk1 didn't, to the best of my knowledge, ever had one fitted. I'd have thought its presence would have encouraged the build up of silt at the central "summit" of the scuttle at the point where rainwater would tend to stand before beginning its slow journey down to either side of the front wings.
