SQUAREBACK ENGINE COVER

[aircoolsteve]

hi all. the engine cover on my square has no heat pad under it. i also have another cover with a pretty good heat pad on it but it doesn't have the webbing with the gutter hook on it. do i take it that maybe the later cars didn't have the webbing with the hook?
i don't really want to try and remove the heat pad and transfer it to the other one. also, the foil thats on the surface is sort of off the edge and doesn't look like it was ever glued with anything.
has anyone got an idea on how this should be? was there glue of some kind or am i missing something!
i was fishing about in my workshop when i found this cover and i was just about to look into how i was going to sort out the one on the car with no heat pad. real bonus if i can keep the pad connected to the cover! oh, and transfer the closing clips over as the good one has them missing.

The Fastback and Notchback don't have the webbing strap - that's for the Variant oinly. The Fastback clips onto the boot opening; I've not had a Notch to know what that does. I think the strap goes into slots in the cover - I had to put mine back in ISTR.

I think the heat pad comes off if you remove the 'buttons'. You may have to ease the internal pad off to do that.

any pics of the cover with straps, mine doesnt seem to have them?

It's webbing about 15mm wide, tucks in at the back of the cover through slots in the metal I think, and is long enough to lay across the surface and tuck the hook into the hollow for storage. That gives you the length needed. When you think how many of those lids were produced, it seems crazy if no-one has a spare one. I must have one or two somewhere, but I really don't recall where.

Notch lid has a sort of spring clip mounted in it which clips into a matching hook on the edge of the boot roof.
