Default Thank you

Very handy to see all that Lee, and very well documented with really good photo's.

Jury's still out for me wether timber was used originally between the hatch surround and the roof but I am leaning towards that theory.

The couple we pulled to bits, the bolts were long and very rotten in the middle indicating some organic material added to their corrosion. The middle material was timber sandwiched between two rubber gaskets. It certainly appeared that they had never been disturbed from factory but that is only gut feeling.

Still you can only go on what's in front of you. There are threads with pictures of Ford hatches but they get blurry when enlarged making it near impossible to see the original packing used.
