MG TD TF 1500 - TF cowl rubber tacks

  The TF is going back together ... Yea!
I have a question. Do you know what type of tack/ nail holds the rubber strip between the hood and body tub?  Brass, steal, blue metal, flat head, etc.?
Thanks,
D. Sander

I used blue steel tacks. They're tapered, and don't hold real well, I'd try something else next time. They do sink into the rubber some, so don't protrude & scratch.

I used 1" long stainless steel brads purchased from the hardware store. Works well, will not rust and is not expensive. Have a good day!
