Hello everyone
if you own a late model type 3 you may find it difficult to replace
your aging front indicator rubber seals - I certainly am.
I managed to locate some second hand body seals (in reasonable condition). However the rubber tubing that carried the wiring to the headlight bucket was shot.
I thought I would share my solution for any else in this predicament.
1 Get a headlight bucket drain plug for a type 1.
2, Go to Clark Rubber and buy some and buy some 10 mm rubber cord - the stuff used for exercise machines to provide resistance. It's very soft and flexible.
3. Both items have the same outside diameter and glue together (superglue) nicely. I glued an additional collar at the joint. The cord also fits snugly into the hole at the back of the lamp housing seal.
Anyway, it's not an Earth shattering solution but it still looks the part and should keep everything water tight.
