Yeah it will fit but why pay that much when Karcraft (and probably others) sells it for 1/2 that. ebay is a ripoff if you don't do your homework first. |

ebay is a ripoff if you don't do your homework first. Only really bothered investigating karcrafts prices when I'd basically finished the car, sadly 
They actually have some of the best prices around, shame they don't have the fancy pants online shopping system. I bought a whole rubber kit from lindsay siebler at a pretty good price... |

no it's not... if they did have an online shopping system they'd start charging retail prices - f*ck that |

Their current sales system is geared to this. |

Send them an email asking for the Mini price list PDF file, then look through that (sometimes it's easiest to get your part # elsewhere then do a search) Figure out what you want, and call or email them and they will give you a post price and pay via credit card. Might take an extra 10 minutes compared to the other sites, but it's often very worth your while! |

Wow they were quick - am I looking at retail or nett price? |

You pay NETT. The retail is the old RRP. Check on the PDF if the price includes GST, my windows based Kc database doesn't. |

Ok i found them and you were right they are much cheaper. Front HYA7161 $27.33 Rear JRC2674 $23.04 Cheers Bill Edit : >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I noticed in the catalog that there's 2 types of boot seal rubbers , one attaches to the body and the other attaches to the boot lid. My original one was held in with clips onto the boot lid , so my question is which type is best ? or do i have to get the original one ? Cheers Bill |

Hi Bill I bought the clip-on one and some clips for my "68 deluxe and not only was it a bloody pain to fit, it leaked. I ended up replacing it with the on-body type which was easy to fit and sealed better. I guess it depends on whether you prefer originality over functionality. Cheers Dave |

I bought the original foam boot lid rubber, was a PITA to fit on with repro clips, so as a gesture to modernity I flung all those damned clips and used Selleys Kwikgrip contact adhesive. Looks OK and works fine. |
