I want to match or near match some profiles if possible. I know Clark Rubber have a limited range. There was a post at some stage which i cant find and Im sure someone knew of a place Sydney local.

I remember Peter Jacksons out Penrith way but they changed names and not sure where they are. Anyone know there whereabouts?

Would Rare Spares at Homebush carry a range of rubbers?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks, Andrew

I love 242HP sleepers. 🤪

How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn? 😂 UPDATE: Cayman S, M3, B4 now added to the list.

mate try Grippy Rubber (I think) at Northmead. I bought bits for Sony Scorcher Falcon there a decade ago, I think they are still there...

Yeah they won't be hard. Vintage Veedub or Classic up there should have them. Door seals are hard to find I think. Good ones anyway.

This link might be helpful to all sorts of VW restoration projects in need of rubber parts and seals:

Door seals Im good for, 3 sets of NOS germans but I was hoping to find a match close or same as the VW and hopefully spare some $$ of rubbers that you can get from our VW suppliers.

They are probably identical to some 1980's Skoda you could only get in Mongolia!

You're probably right. I see where you're coming from now. They're a pretty simple profile.
Bugboy (Nathan ) was saying that if you go to a Clark Rubber store and ask to see the catalogue of rubber profiles, they have a section for Volkswagen.
(Wouldn't care to part with a pair of those NOS door rubbers Andrew?)

Rare Spares here in Perth has a huge range of rubber profiles, so I'd expect the one in Homebush to do the same.

Oh!!!! My 1000th post. Time to get a new title.
