You are correct Paul, I'm not on here quite as much as I was, so email is the best method of getting in touch.

I have now replied to everyone up to mentallis via pm, so please check your in-box, and there are still seal kits available for anyone else who needs them.

Trevor, hi, & welcome, quick fix if Jeremy doesn't get back to you, remove the rear lights & inspect the seal, they usually break across on side. Options, reglue the section together, then swap the seals over, right one to left side turning it over in the process, & refit with vaseline to form a seal. Hope this helps

I've now invested in a tool which will stamp the seals out of sheet material in one piece, with no joint. The new seals are manufactured in a closed-cell neoprene which does not hold water, and all the mounting holes exactly match the original items.

I am waiting for delivery of the first production batch. They will be available for members shortly. I will sell them in pairs so that you get a complete car set. The price is (I think ) very reasonable at £10.00 per pair plus £2.50 postage. The OEM price is £16.85 each plus carriage!

Here is a photo of the first off. All the holes are present although the three small holes on the tongues don't show clearly in the photo.



The inital order is for 125 sets so the tooling cost becomes reasonable.I'll start a list if people are interested.

Here is the start of the list. Once the seals are ready I will notify anyone who is interested about payment

DefibDuncan 1 set
Wraymond 1 set
Championdaddy 2 sets
Reebs 2 sets
ianfletcher 1 set
riclin 1 set
reworht 1 set
Hello can I have a set please? Do you have a contact telephone number. Thank you
