Title: Re: restorers_paradise rubber kits ?? Post by: stephen on March 11, 2011, 07:07:44 PM Yes .. have purchased the door handle rubbers and were OK .. bought rare spares moulded door seals and were OK , but used my old sections around the front door hinges, so I did not get the TONGUE sticking out when the door closed, used Scotts rubbers for the boot rubber and leaked like sieve, so suggest another supplier for the boot rubber .used rares bailey channels, but be careful and check that they are all the same and have a slight taper, they mixed mine up and I had some FC and some EH which are different and DO NOT FIT ..when you put the bailey channels in, cut them with a very fine cutting disc on a small 4 inch grinder, you get a neater cut, and then file any burs off with fine file .. I found that the went in nice and firm without any adhesive on them, the first couple I put some adhesive on them and had a hell of a mess, ...as they were a firm press in fit, I did not use anything on the rest of them, ..you can always put some adhesive on after, but if you put it on first, theirs nothing you can do .... hope this helps ..

i went to Clarke rubber today, he is going to call the supplier and get the right part numbers for the right profiles so he than can give me the right or very close sample profiles of all the rubbers i need, so im hoping these will all suit, but at least from there i can see what is right or wrong by trying them... if not i will try and check out restorers and everyones suggestions on here thankx again Stephen for your input Have a gr8 Holden ( FE ) day ;D Title: Re: restorers_paradise rubber kits ?? Post by: Oggz on April 17, 2011, 10:26:40 PM Yep, they are rare spares items. I have not brought anything from these guys, but one thing I can tell you, they are NOT rare spares, they stock some rare spares stuff, but they are deffinatly NOT rare spares. The only reason they stock some rare spare stuff is they dont yet make it all themselves. They are an independent manufacture in direct competition with rare spare. They do not get on well. I dont have any affiliation with these guys, but they are local company for me and will most likely use them when the need arises. Cheers Oggz |
