Firstly- I did do a search on this forum but couldn't find the answer I was looking for.
I need a new screen rubber for my HB. My local supplier, Basisnz.co.nz , has the seal listed for an HA and Anthony says its the same seal profile for the HB. Is this correct. I just want to check.
He sells the seal off the roll at about 14 quid per meter with around 3.3 meters needed.
This seems an OK price to me ?

cheers all

You can use the HA one, but it has small differences...we found the lip was a bit smaller, but if you need one urgently, then better than a knackered one for sure....the HB rubbers i am re-making are probably going to be better than the original ones...will certainly last longer than std rubber. Profile is being checked soon.

Alex, try Old Scotts Rubbers in Australia..... new ones in stock....

I have ordered an entire cars worth form these guys, after recommendation from others who have these rubbers on their cars..

Does a Mk1 Escort not fit as well. Did Scott (Opelscot) not use them on his HBs?

Whoops- late reply I know
Cheers for info. I have for now sealed the rubber with silicone. I used masking tape and did a very neat job and can only tell its there due to the shiny silicone.

If I can get a old bit of HB screen rubber from a friend I'll use it to see how well the local stuff matches. If it doesnt then I'll buy one from scotts old rubber as I think the freight on one from the club would be too much.

Now see my next question about where do leaks come from near heater......

How do you get on if you send stuff over as a gift....

I'm not sure. I think I can import stuff up to the value of $400nzd (200squid) before the tax man takes his bit. But the freight costs are the killer.

Hannah's sister is coming over to NZ in dec though... She could put a seal in her cabin luggage and claim its licorice for her trip...
