Wanted - Rubber Seals for Country Buggy
Pault - August 16th, 2007 at 09:45 PM

Does anyone have information on where I can get the bonnet and boot rubbers seals, and the cost.

Regards

Hi,

I also forgot to ask if the interior floor of the country buggy's had a full one piece rubber mat setup, or were they just individual mats.

And is the mat available to buy and do you know where from.

Thanks

I will be looking at Grippy Rubber in Northmead NSW when I need mine; they have thousands of different rubber extrusions/sizes

Dunno about floor mats yet, sorry

Paul,

I recall having a CB rubber conversation with Bill Moore. I'm pretty sure that he said that front and engine rubbers as well as windsreen rubbers can be sourced from Clark Rubber. Best to take a sample though. Not sure about the floor mats.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the info. The problem is I don't know what the original seals look like because on my car he has used aftermarket foam strips. Still I'll go to Clark Rubber and see what they've got.

Thanks again.

if you are not in a big hurry I will be able to help you with old rubbers to use as a sample

I'm not in a hurry for the rubbers, so when you are ready if you could cut off a small sample or even send me a photo of the cross section I should be able to get something.

Rob,

Google "steeleRubber.com"
Or try

Search for # 83-0109-73

This worked excellent for my CB restoration. It has an adhesive back and fit like a champ!

Paul,
Clarke Rubber do have front and rear bonnet seals.
Ask them to look in their vehicle rubber parts microfysche and there are already part numbers set up in their stock records.
They wont carry them them in stock at the local store and they get them made up through Head Office. My recollection is approx $90 for each set.
I think they have a windscreen rubber seal as well and that was approx $120

Paul,

Yep - Clark Rubber - I did the whole car there - they have zillions of different profiles. Just takes a little time to get neat, but worth it in the end.
