Well, what's the news Paul? I'd be very interested in the door rubbers when they become available, I'm getting tired of the draughts.

Patience my son! :lol:
First impressions are good... there will be a couple of tweaks needed though. A trial fit to an HC rear screen is taking place soon. Im not giving it the nod though until i am 100% satisfied it is a good un.

Are these going to be a one piece item or a length that needs joining?

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume they're going to be one piece.

Right people a heads up on the rubbers...

First to be available will be the HC Saloon Rear....this is progressing well. We have a sample which is being made and trial fitted at the moment.
Yes it will be a one piece, as the HC rear is angled cuts on all 4 corners. These will have to be hand made, so will be a little more expensive, but not silly....dont panic.... A good ballpark price, and it definitely will be within this,is £50 - £60...there will be a discount for club members of course.
I am now after some solid pre-orders, so please register your interest below this post...regardless of whether you have already posted before. I need to know for an initial production quantity to be ordered.
Also i will be asking for a deposit of £15 per rubber...and only 1 per person for the initial order.
Thanks in advance for your support with this....if we do well, there will be more for all other models.

The first rubber is being made now...it will be fitted to a car and tested for a short while....then if i am 100% happy with it, we are ready to roll with them.

Any comments on the quality of this item: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... IF:CA:1123 ??

Just wondering if it's worth it, or if I should just wait for Paul to do the HB rubbers?
