Hi, Just as the subject line hints at:
Which company is the best place to buy front doors WINDOW New rubber gasket sets.

I'm in need for a 1977 Clubman van with the ausmini "vent window" style of doors.
Any tips, info and links, installation tips, etc. are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, and,
Best regards,
MSH

Hi Mark,
Most suppliers here sell the same window rubbers for the windup window doors.
I got all mine from www.karcraft.com.au but found that the locally made inner and outer seals for the main window are too thick for the clips.
MGB window rubbers (shortened a bit) are the original cross section and thickness, fit perfectly- I got these from Heritage MG Parts.

I have since found that Mini King carries these also.

Note that Karcraft now carries the MGB ones. :wink:

Thanks DrMini and 4my ego,
Do you guys also know if these same suppliers have the seals for the pivoting "wing" window?
And, does anyone know if there are exterior door handles available for these? They are pretty cool, and hard to find in N. America!
Thanks again,
MSH

Yes they have the seals for the `quarter vents' (Ozspeak)
Note there are 2 pieces each side, and both are LH and RH.
These Oz outer door handles are NLA new, but s/h ones can be found. New lock barrels and keys are available (same as some UK ones).
