Default Removal on 408

You have to "dig out" some of the screws. They are countersunk and hidden under putty. At least in the door openings. Though some are visible at the rear (see picture). Remove the paint down to the metal and you will see small craters of putty that hide the screws. You will also find a few rivets at the ends.
When you have removed the gutter from the body will find a yellow compund . It´s the Duralac anti corrosion compund. I guess all seams between aluminum and steel on a Bristol are treated with Duralac. You find Duralac at most Lotus spare part suppliers or Marine shops.
