    Does anyone have a good photo of the rubber seal that should run along the bottom of the front batchboard (see photo), or a sketch of the profile section of the seal. I'm looking for a supplier and can't describe it as I don't know what it looks like up close as I have lost mine during the refurbishment.

    Which is the same material along the top of the spare tire tub front wall

    Thanks you for the fasts replies but I am not sure that this is correct. As I recall this was very similar to the SP1 profile but it was slightly smaller and less chunky and was rubber rather than foam.

    My car is a late series E and so I don't think SP1 is even correct for the top of the spare tyre hub either as this should be more like a rubber door seal with a lip.

    I may be wrong on both counts so I would welcome input from others to see what they have in these places.

    Just confirming this is the same foam rubber I have on my original batchboard.

    Hey Simon.

    I had been led to believe that sp1 was used on top of the front 'board' and rear-boot top edge - at least on the early E's.

    my understanding is that bottom seal for the front board is per the image below, and thats what I replaced mine with (however I couldn't find this exact one and ended up using a seal which looked very close available from our local rubber extrusion shop).
