Windlacing for FE

[FE_UTE]

G'Day all
The windlacing in my FE ute is starting to disintegrate.I have checked with a couple of good trimmers over here in Perth with no luck.The only windlace that is available is from Rare Spares. This is a single colour dark green, the one in my ute is a lighter green with a dark fleck.
Does anyone know if this is available in the east and if so the supplier

Hi,

I recently got all the windlacing I needed from a trimmer supply shop in Carlisle (Perth).  I'll look up the address and post it (if I can find it).  A trimmer from Rockingham gave me a sample card of windlacings available and there was about 15 - 20 different colours.  I chose white (bad mistake) and he had enough in stock to do the whole car.

Ok, I am quite sure this is a silly question, but how do you know how much windlacing you need?  I assume it is quite different for a sedan to a wagon (And I am curious to find out both quantities).  And where do you find out what the colour specs/numbers for windlacing are for your particular car?

Cat,

There was some discussion about this a little while ago.

Thanks Craig,
Do you know if there is a colour list for the windlacing as well?  And how on earth do you remember where all those past dsicussions are??

All you have to have is a sense of deja vu, which is easy when you're an addict to the forum

There's a button at the top of the page that looks like a magnifying glass.  This takes you to a page where you can do a keyword search of our voluminous archives of old posts.

cheers

Brad W.... Have tried Daleys in Carlisle,they dont have anything close to the original

Cat   .... The measurement for the ute doors for windlacing is just short of 2.8 metres
