Sgo I think mcl 1959 has answered your question,I am after the 1956 trim. Graham you have raised a good question can anybody answer about the rubber? The rear window stainless is the only part I am missing but I do have a spare set of demister vents which I will part with for the right stainless trims!

Ive got a heap of FE stainless behind my shed, I will have a look tmw Title: Re: Swap demister vents for FE stainless rear window trim Post by: mcl1959 on January 21, 2008, 10:35:03 PM I believe the rubber is not available - so it is difficult to keep original 56 look. I have a 1956 set of rear window chrome if you can still use your original rubber. You wont really know if your rubber is OK until you take it out. If you dont intend to take the rubber out, then it should be OK. I just repaired and reattached the 56 rear window trim on my FE, so it can be done. Check with SGO first to see if he has 56 chrome as he was first to reply.

Not sure about Vic but there is a place in SA - www.minuspaint.com.au
