No, the snoot (and Sportshatch) had a special windscreen rubber that didn't have any place for the infill strip to sit. It had a slight moulding, but no slot as such.

I know someone does the black infill strip, it's been a common work-around for no-one making the special snoot rubber and not wanting to stick the chrome strip in.

The E coupe which my brother bought new in October '75 didn't have any insert in the rubber at all, front or back. We fitted chrome inserts to it early in 1976 as a costomising exercise along with Alley Cat wheels and Spa type DTV spoiler.

Thanks guys, I have searched high and low but can't find black infill strip suitable for this has anyone managed to find any?

Autoscott rubbers in Australia have something similar but not sure if it would fit.

I went into Walker Rubbers in Norwich and they said they could run some off but minimum order would be 30 metres.
