MG MGB Technical - Boot lid seal

Anyone know of a UK source for the correct foam-filled seal that goes on the boot lid, and not the incorrect stuff pictured here?

Paul Hunt

Have you tried Woolies?

Baines might be able to supply it.

See their downloadable catalogue, page 90 (sponge rubber extrusions), item ref SRS 108 (you'll need to ask them about dimensions).

Couldn't see anything at Woolies, found possibles at http://www.phoenixtrim.co.uk/Documents/M%20G%20Cat%20Lea%20July%202012.pdf also SRS108 and described as MGB inner tailgate sponge section, and http://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/shopping.asp?intDepartmentId=68 SRS1920 also MGB type inner tailgate seal. My V8 inner seal does appear to be the same as my roadster. More than you can shake a stick at with Baines, but hoping to get a confirmation as to which one actually does the job.

Paul, there is a company called Paul Beck of Vintage supplies. he sells all sort of rubber seals and his web site shows a good picture of the seal. So at least you know what your getting. Hope this helps.

SRS 108 from Phoenix, Baines and Martins Rubber looks to to be the one. Only Phoenix quote a price so that's the one we are going for.
