I don't know if anybody is interested in spearheading a reproduction effort.
I was looking for the rubber that goes around the side curtains on my Morgan.
It has changed over the years and the new stuff doesn't fit the older
curtains.
Anyway, I sent a company a small sample and they said that they could
reproduce
it and gave me a quote.
Then I queried the Morgan mailing list trying to come up with enough orders
to make the min. order. I think we could do the same thin here, especially
if we had good one to send to one of the rubber companies.
The Co. I used was:
Technical Specialties Co. Inc.
2415 Destiny Way, Suite 3
Odessa, Fl. 33556
(800) 874-0877
You might also try:
Metro Molded Parts Inc
1610 Jay Street
Minneapolis, Mn. 55433
(612) 757-0310
or Steel Rubber.
and if anyone is interested in spearheading this, count me in for 4 to 8.
John
