Rubber profiles - where from?
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

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

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.

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.
