that it's a chunkier seal, but I can't really make out which one it is

Yes, it's chunky and was supplied by Marlin.
Just popped into the garage and the rubber bit is about 20mm diameter 'unsquashed'.
I used contact adhesive to stick the vinyl cloth to the panels. You can get Evostick remover to clear up any errors but places like B&Q keep it under the counter at the check outs so you have to ask.

Thanks Pete - I have some contact adhesive, I'll get a pot of remover for the messy bits.

Like the gooster, I am at the trim stage-really see the car coming together.Could someone measure the check strap on the door?have seen straps on albert-jagger ltd website and hope it will be suitable.

I found the door seals to be a bit of a problem. On my car the door doesn't run parallel to the strip on the sill for mounting the seal. Very much closer at the front than the back. As a result the seal is squashed almost flat at the front and there is a small gap (about 3mm) at the back. I have/am solving this with the door cards which add about 4mm to the thickness of the door.

Spray adhesive is good for the large areas.

I'll second the spray adhesive. And Evostick isn't what it used to be.
I had a lot of fun sticking myself to various leathercloth offcuts.

I've just ordered several hectares of carpet. I've convinced myself that I'll need at least two attemts to get it right, so I'd better have some extra.

I located all the pieces of Titanfast edge trim. Do you still need them?

Robin

GreatOldOne · #29 19th October 2009, 13:11

Yes please. Do you need my address again, or do you still have it?

MartinClan · #30 19th October 2009, 16:28

I still have it. Will try and get the stuff in the post tomorrow.

There are 6 pieces. They fit as follows as I remember. In the end I didn't use the bits on the front wings 'cause the wings are very close to the tyres in my case.

2 for the front wings (Short run between the stays)
2 more for the front wings (Longer run)
2 for the rear wings. These are a bit distorted where they follow the rather tortuous curve from the leading edge and then up arround the wheel arch. However they didn't fall off - for ages after the SVA...

I also fitted a piece arround the lower edge of the nose cone but that seems to have really fallen off and I can't find it....

Titanfast arrived this morning. Thanks Robin
