Canopy extruded rubber seal supplier?

Sun Jan 20, 2013 7:30 pm

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can buy the extruded rubber seal that goes around the edge of the perspex in a Harvard type fixed rear canopy enclosure (p/n 7E44)?

I previously bought some from Banaire, but was advised last week by Art that no orders can be processed due to "technical difficulties"... & it sounded like that was going to be the case for the foreseeable future?!?

To try & describe it, it's a U section with a hollow bulb at the top outer side of one of the legs.
Our local (Australian) suppliers don't seem to stock it & an internet search hasn't turned up anything similar?

Any advice appreciated!

Jason

Have you tried Scott's Old Auto Rubber? http://www.scottsoldautorubber.com.au/
They have a few out-of-the=ordinary profiles.
