SunnyTim wrote:Yes there is in my opinion. The Rare Spares ones are a little random (batches seem to change over years) whereas the Betta Rubbers one seems to fit OK for the 2-3 using theirs that I have done.
Before the Nats Windscreen O'Briens had Bretts Black FB for 2 days to fit front and rear screens with Rares Rubbers, when it came home ot was sitting high and leaked. Back for another day or two and they eventually got it right.
A further complexity is the type of windscreen. A laminated screen often requires some removal of excess in certain areas. I haven't tackled a laminated screen myself, best to leave it to an expert to break it.
Others may have differing experiences? Rare Spares have a fair way to go with a number of their rubbers. Bill did a great job to finally get the standard rear screen rubbers sorted. He has trial fitted a few of the batch and all seems AOK. Given that there are no moulds to insert into the rubber I am fairly confident that they will be pretty good to go in.
