New screen glass, rubber seal and chrome for HB

Postby stevecarrod » Sun Oct 18, 2015 8:52 pm

Does anyone know where I can get new rubber seals with chrome inserts for my Viva HB (1967)? I'm located in the East of England so ideally a person/company located in that area would be best.

I think the front screen could also do with replacing but this will depend on cost... any ideas on that also?

Thanks

Colin Robins usually has laminated screens for sale, probably through Vauxhall Green Parts.

Screen rubbers are usually replaced with Cortina mk2 or Escort mk1 items, an Escort rubber is less than £20, chrome trim I have on the roll @ £5 a window. Screens are readily available too although since Pilkingtons have been "aquired" by Nippon Safety Glass the prices have gone up a lot. I have a spare tinted laminated screen for my own car if you are in need.
Fitting, the cost of coming to you is considerable but, if want a day out and are prepared to come to me either in Ludlow or in Downham Market, then you'd have change from £50.
