Dnk Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 Im interested in how this looks was going to do some red ones These are to replace the discoloured and pitted ones that are moulded into the rubbing strips on my Range Rover Im going to have to machine out the originals to get the new strip to fit so its quite involved. I have a spare one to play with before i attack the ones on the Range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Machined out the old piece and fitted the new strip. It's not come out too bad but i really need 11mm wide strip or 7/16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I recon if you look into the old BL or Fords parts bin you could find what you are looking for. In the 60's and 70's chrome trim strips where everywhere on old Triumphs, Morris, Austin and MG cars. I recall Cortinas, Capris and Anglias had them too along the flanks and around the windows. I checked with the side chrome trim on my MGB, that'd be perfect but its a few mm wider. Moggy minors of the post split screen era had chrome insets into the window rubber, I was looking at one earlier this week as a mate has that car and we will be changing out the screen rubber; they have to be somewhere around the 12mm mark. I'm heading over there today so I'll try to remember to take a ruler and measure up the window surround trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 Found a better easier way to do this, we chrome wrapped one and its more than good enough for the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
