Quick question , Would a set of door rubbers from a 64 850 fit on a 68 deluxe ?
Some one offered me a new spare set from his 850 but I'm not sure if they will fit my deluxe doors ?

Cheers Jarrad

The door rubbers for the 64 850, if they were intended for the original sliding window doors are thicker than the later type. You will need to look at the cross section to determine which door they are for.

Ok thanks mick , he has sliding window doors on his so they would be thicker seals than I have ,
Would I be better off with these :

That is the correct type. Note that they will be unnaturally tight at first, but will settle in over time.

Thanks for the help mick [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]

why do I have so many pieces of pinchweld that I've taken out of cars with windup windows? I have door rubbers in my S from rarespares that are held on with the pinchweld that was on it when I got it...

did I tell you that I won a trophy?

Years ago (when I didn't know better) I bought 850 door rubbers in from Minisport UK, and tried to use them on my windup doors. There was about a 1/8" gap, the 850 ones were smaller than the Oz Deluxe etc ones.
I fitted local Deluxe etc door ones and they sealed fine.

I seem to recall a while ago someone mentioning that there was a Ford door rubber that was the same profile? I could be wrong there is so much stuff that comes up on here it is pretty easy to lose track of things.............

XD Falcon rubber fits windup doors, can buy off the roll at Grippy Rubber, Clark Rubber, etc.
Measure first, they are longer than you think...

that's the sort of info that needs to be stored somewhere.

I was told that ford rubbers fit as well from a few people

Ive said it here before

I was crawling through CLark Rubber only a few days ago, they're a few dollars more than buying them of the roll locally from a mini supplier, but they have a number of different cross sections of different sizes there.

So Kev, do you still have the 850 seals??

Cheers, Ian

Haha, it was 20+ years ago, I binned them then.
