A little bit more.
After the curfuffle about the Rares Spares Window Rubbers Russell and I deceided to do a test fitting including the stainless trim.
Went in with no problems?.... :thumbsup:

I don't know what the problem was Stewart and I brought the rubbers around the same time..... :shock:

Image

Image

Image

I'd even brought one off Betta Rubber just in case and no before you ask, Rusty'd not interested in installing windscreens!.... :-|

We also did a test with the side wing trim to check it before Russell starts painting, no problems there either... 8)

Image

Image

Looking nice now with primer sprayed on..... :D

Image

Might just get to the Tassie Nationals after all... :mrgreen:
