Care to share your seal between tailgate top and catflap bottom
arrangement, mine is still a huge gap!

I made the drip strip, ( yellow bit below), as it had been
removed when the flap was riveted to the tailgate with a 6"
piece of plate, to make a door. The seal and retainer (grey and
blue respectively) are original items - does that help?

I had to make the drip strip, could not get one, and even scrap
doors are way to expensive now - I just got lucky on e-bay I
guess.

Yep, that helps thanks, mines all NOS and cost a bomb, but I
cant get the inner seal and bracket, for love/money/a
kidney.......I must throw some thought at fabricating
something.........
Top job on the refurb!
