Rubber profiles - where from?
GTMac - January 14th, 2008 at 06:09 PM
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

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...

Rubbers for a particular car or what Andrew?

Yes good point Brad, for my 71 Fasty, front and rear boot seals.

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.
