Rounded versus square corner boot lid

[rixter]

Hi,

Other than the corners of the boot lid, are there other differences between the early series and the later series? I'm looking at the number of dents in my early series boot lid and am wondering if just getting a replacement boot lid is advisable. I think I can get access to a late series (square corner) boot lid and am wondering how involved cutting the corners to round and reinforcing would be in addition to any other differences there may be.

Thanks
Rick

Rick,
They're basically the same ( Series 3-V) Making a round corner out of a square corned lid
is much easier than making a square out of a round corner. Just use your dented one as a pattern.

You basically cut the square off and weld the edge.

Cheers & Happy New Year!

Steve,

Thanks. That was what I was hoping would be the case.
