spectrum rubber (used to be peter jacksons old auto rubber) at Dunheved in NSW (let your fingers do the walking). They still manufacture or have in stock all rubbers except the channels for sliding windows.

Where from? That's bloody cheap- I just paid $60 for 2 door frame rubbers (Grippy Rubber) and that was cheaper than some.

I found Spectrum a bit pricey to be honest....and then there is Clark Rubber, who buy from Spectrum and wack a mark up on their price.

Karcraft and Heritage MG were neck and neck with pricing. I ended up buying ALL my rubbers (and I mean EVERYTHING) from Heritage MG. $12 shipping to your door next day :D

I got mine in from MiniSpares in the UK - for one a lot of the items were on special and two they claim (and I've heard ) that the door seals for the MK1 are different and if you get the later model rubbers the doors are hard to shut.

I got Mk1 door seals from MiniSport once- NO they don't fit properly- too narrow.
The generic ones from Grippy Rubber do fit nice, I just put a set in Barney. :wink:
