I am refreshing the rear springs on my Magnette before installing them. Where should I buy the interleaf pads and angle pads? Also should I paint each leaf ( both sides ) or reassemble and paint the bundle? My Magnette is finally back from the body shop and I will be asking a lot of questions. This is unfamiliar territory for me. Thanks for the help..

It's been several years since mine were installed but I believe that I got them from NTG. They fit well with some minor trimming. As I recall they are somewhat thicker than the originals but they do the job and look good.

Hi,

 

I need the rubber molding for the front quarter light / vent
windows.  My research has produced
the following information & I am having a difficult time understanding the
discrepancies in pricing and questioning the functionality & quality as
well (since one supplier offers the molding in two pieces instead of just one).
These particular moldings are pretty intricate and if they aren’t any good, or
if they aren’t installed properly, I foresee water leaks and wind noise in my
future so please help! 

 

Lou offers the pair of moldings at 149 pounds

 

Metro Molded offers the pair of moldings (P/N 6501) for $150

 

NTG offers the molding (4 pieces in all) as two vertical
strips with separate left hand & right hand curved sections at a total of
roughly 74 pounds

 

I’m a firm believer that you get what you pay for.  Ordinarily I would buy from Lou, no
questions asked but at these prices, I think it’s valid to ask a few questions.


 

Has anyone used any of these moldings and can you make a
recommendation regarding which is the best buy or suggest a better
alternative?  Any specific
installation instructions and other molding advice would be most welcome.

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance,

 

Dick
