Hood front seal

[Marcel CH]

Hi, my Elan SE (1993) needed a soft top replacement. When removing the original hood, the front seal has been seriously damaged, beyond repair, I'm told.
Can anyone help me to find a new seal?

[Jamie N]

Make a rubber one yourself Marcel, even a roughly made one will be superior to the rotten water sucking sponge that was on it (worst seal on the Elan).

If you want a new one I think SJ Sportscars still have some.

SJ Sportscars don't have them but are hoping to get some made. I emailed them in July, they will put your name on a waiting list.

Many thanks!

Found a solution mounting a Corvette '85 seal...
Quiet a bit of work adapting it, but it worked!

Good stuff Marcel!, just proves that a bit of innovation means we can keep these old cars on the road without having to spend fortunes .

Oh and, where do you get a 85 Corvette seal from ??!!

Good to hear "The Beast of Saddleworth Moor" is still alive and kicking, albeit in a rusty old VW bus

PS Even after a couple of years absence you are still on my top 10 LEC fruitcake list
