Floorpan seal - where to buy in QLD?
Hiya all,
Wondering where to get hold of the floorpan rubber seal for a Bug in QLD?
I got one from Micks but it's pre-cut and badly so cos the sides are too short n ends too long. Classic I'm not happy with paying double on the
postage cost so where else apart from maybe Custom?
Cheers

Yea was gonna take it back but where to get a 'roll' of seal from?
You know the funny thing is that if the stuff from Micks came as a roll then it woulda been the correct overall length cos the sides were short but
the ends long by the same amount

Last seal I got was from Mick Motors and it was just a whole roll. Not cut or anything.

Ah ha, right well shall see what they say when I call tomoro then
Gotta admit I did find it odd having a pre-cut seal and if they'd measured it right it'd all be good

If you can buy a seal for a type 3. I'm fairly sure that's what they sold me because I had a heap left over. The seal is exactly the same there's
just more of it. Gives you a bit more to play with.
I asked for a beetle one and that's what they sold it to me as, but it has to have been a type three one cause I had quite a bit left over. Almost a
meter I think.

Well got told by Micks that most the suppliers do them pre-cut now-a-days but the T3 option will definately work even if pre-cut cos it's longer and
wider
