Good to see you can get your hands on new rubber strips to replace old crummy ones. That kind of item can be a nightmare for restoration work like weather strips, door seals etc...

Like how this is coming along. Most other (decent looking) 70’s styled cars are completely unobtainable these days due to price (holdens, falcons, Mazda’s), but the sigma and scorpion still seem to be well priced (if you can find one). Always liked the scorps.
@BennysCustomWorks4 жыл бұрын
Thanks mate, a GE scorp just popped up in my hood on gumptree for a song, in barn find territory and yes the chrysler/ mitsu offerings don’t seem to be on the P plate write off radar so still really well priced.

Window seals and channels aren't the most exciting parts to work on, but it's extremely rewarding when it's done. You don't quite realize how bad it is until you fix it. I did the door seals and window channels in my Datsun 510 last year and I was surprised at how much quieter the car was without rattling windows and wind noise through the door seals.

@anomamos90954 жыл бұрын
If you want to try and keep the channel as one continuous piece like factory, you use a hole punch to notch into the corners of a bend just clipping the deepest part of the channel putting the holes mostly to the sides then cut up from the middle of the hole bend the channel to the desired angle overlapping the rubber then either cut off the overlap or snip down the middle depending on the angle of the bend. Test on a bit of scrap first to determine how to cut it.

You should probably change the door and boot seals as well just for added protection. Rubber seals Australia are great! They should already have the sigma profile for the seals.

Those were the days, relatively cheap mods as at that time Weber carbs that came standard on 2ltr Escorts were a dime a dozen at wrecking yards, add an adapter plate to the inlet manifold bolt on the Weber and voila, no need for re-jetting etc. It just worked. If you had money, twin DCOE Webers, port job and bigger cam and valves for some more HP and torque.

hi Using Bostik Vertical surface contact cement . Use this mainly on the 90 degree corners . Only need a small amount in 2-3 spots . Razor blade slots in the 90deg corners also helps .OR Many factory rubbers have slots /square window cut outs to allow flexing in corners . Lube roller runners ,, mechanisms with PH zinc grease helps alot . Did the bailey channel rubbers fit well ????

I believe the electric mirrors on my bimmers run off 3 wires also, and all the power distribution is done by the switch. I still have to source a dual electric mirrors switch for the 5 series. It came with no passenger mirror in 85", but the driver side is electric and no way to switch from one to another. Even funnier is the passenger electric mirror on a 190e w201 châssis, and the driver side is manual. Because Germans I guess 😂
