Bought a nice long length from him at Stoneleigh for the GT6, priced by metrei've asked the price here in belgium at a guy who workes in the weekend at a place here that sells british car parts .. for 3 metre it was nearly 18 euro ! ??) for some plastic ** :-/but i contacted Bill Davies , he mailed my this evening back and he sells them for 2 pounds /metre .. so if i look it up for 3 metre it's 7euro !! with shipping maybe 10 euro or something.. but still cheaper then here ! ;) and you need to get it also then .. Thanks again ! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMPUS Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Got the trim in my mail today from 'Rarebits4Classics' ;) looks better then the one i bought 2 years ago . Now another thing .. i had a try to cut it (on the old piece) .. but how is the best way to do it ? also to get the angle's a bit right ? :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldcoupe Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 The original trim had corner finishers pieces, similar to those which join the front screen trim, but with an angle; there is no need for a precise angle as the join is completely covered. These have sadly been unavailable for a couple of decades, I've only ever seen old ones sourced from scrap hardtops.For cutting the finisher, I use one of these, or something very similar:http://www.streuter.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=136&Itemid=234There are doubtless other equally good cutters. To cut a precise angle (in the absence of corner finishers) you are likely to benefit from the precision of a razor saw:http://www.chronos.ltd.uk/acatalog/Engineering_Menu_Zona_Razor_Saws_224.htmlHope that helps,Cheers,Bill.
