They have quite a few rubber bits. Ask them if it is curved.
If you wish, I can give instructions on how to get a perfect curved fit on the straight seal which is most generally available. It was published in the 7/04 issue of "Austin Healey Magazine" by AHCUSA.

I don't know that company, but you may want to try to contact Don Rould. He had that done a number of years ago and had copies for sale. He was located in Fullerton, CA but I believe he may have relocated to Michigan? He is a long time member of AHCUSA. I have been trying to track him down myself, but have been unsuccessful. good luck

Dave--
If you look at the original BMC publicity and advertising shots for the 100 they all show the usual "wrinkle" in the seal--you know that I am a dog for authenticity and so I opted to install mine that way.
Nevertheless I'd be interested in that information. Martin McGregor claims that even though his seal is cut from a roll you can get a perfect flat fit if you do not slide the rubber through the frame (as I of course did) but rather push it in little by little thereby creating, I guess, the necessary curve.

Michael,
I sent an email with attachment. Pushing the seal in rather than sliding is part of it. The other part involves heat stretching & setting just the curved ends.
