MarkB Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Over the years I have bought door rubbers for a couple of Spitfires GT6 Hearld and Vitesse. All to thick making it very difficult to close the doors, a real pain in the A**. but the Usual suppliers probably just don't know the correct rubbers that should be fitted and all sell the same old shite. On the current Vitesse rebuild I contacted Bill at Rarebits and he supplied all the correct rubbers, boot, doors, hood frame etc etc. All fit perfect. So in my opinion he is your man.

rotoflex Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 For what it's worth, my car still has the original fuzzy seals around the rear vent windows. The fuzzy has begun to separate from the rubber seal in places, so I can report that on the originals, the fuzzies were attached to the rubber with adhesive only.Some kind of heat-resistant adhesive. Maybe like what they used to glue the temperature-shielding tiles to the exterior of the space shuttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
