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.
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

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.
