Hi Stewart,

I have to say top job job mate. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: I know what you mean about a lot of hours and not much to show for it :(

Mate, can I ask if your using your old guard seals or are they new? Mine are shot and I haven't had much luck finding any so far.

Cheers

Craig.

When i did my ute I bought some rubber from Clark Rubber that was a pretty good match.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Appreciate it. 8)

Craig - I had to make them up. Like Blacky said try Clarke Rubber for a similar profile then cut to suit and punch out the holes. I got my rubber from Graham rubber near where I work and took in a sample profile. http://www.grahamrubber.com.au/

Wayne - great idea plus I will be adding a NASCO sticker on it too...how's a $1000 sound? :ebiggrin: but you get a club discount...$999...just kidding. If you want to borrow it let me know...

Sam - It will be close. Am hoping to take a week off in September sometime and get stuck into it.
