Thanks Tatters. Got my letters ED in the wrong part of word. Thought they were in middle!
No’s. 8 & 90 still to go but brain not working despite clue given by Lisalippy for no.90.
Any other suggestions greatly appreciated.

Got no.90 now or at least my husband did! Just no.8 - Cap the bomb initially-before old army rifle detonates (11). Any clues please as don’t think any have been given for this one?

No.8 When university students graduate, they wear a gown and cap. What is the cap called? Also made up of word for bomb and as the clue tells you, initially 'Before Old Army Rifle Detonates'.

Thank you lady bee. Got it now. So simple!

Since nothing hasbeen added for three weeks i guess everyone else has got all 100. I am still stuck on two -

43. Head was open to suspicion on board and brought to book. I have seen Squeers suggested but cant seehow it fits the first part of the clue

46. As before, I enter the mine with the tutor.

Wackford Squeers was head of Dotheboys Hall in the book "Nicholas Nickleby.
How many letters in the other one?

Think I went for DOMINIE for 46

DO [ditto/as before]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominie

46: dominie = tutor (schoolmaster)
anagram of "do" (ditto/as before) + " I" + "mine)

Thanks for Dominie

I can see how Squeers fits a headmaster in a book but why him rather than any other headmaster with a seven letter name ?

Glad to help with "dominie", ApacheDave.
Regarding 43. Head was open to suspicion on board and brought to book
Maybe.....?
Squeers - headmaster in a book.
queer - suspicion (see Bradford's dictionary)
ss - steamship / on board
