Hi Barrie

I THINK someone has already said "Don't cut/chop" the seal - my experience says same - I have Steele Rubber door strips/trunk seals etc. and I'm going to fit and close and leave them as advised - trust : they WILL compress.

Best to try that first 'cos cuttin/chopping CAN'T be reversed.

Have been following your progress and a loud "YUP" - your work is GREAT !!

On the weather front think of us in the UK where after 20cms of snow over the Xmas period we are at a standstill on the road on the rail and in the air (well latter we ain't 'cos the airports are shut !!)

Interesting to learn your car is on an Aussie Stromberg - mine is on a USA FoMoCo 250 truck carb.

All the best Michael
