    Rare Spares Door Rubbers

    Hi All

    I am curious to know if you guys are having the same problems with door rubbers that we are having with the Torana ones..


    cheers

    I bought some Rares rubbers ten years ago when I did up my HX work ute and they were shocking. I had to really slam the doors to close them and the rubbers pushed the top window frame out, I ended up moving the door hinges and striker out to ease the pressure off... looked terrible with the doors protruding out from the guards and body but at least I didn't have to slam the doors anymore.

    I bought a set of rubbers a few weeks ago that Harrisons Holden spares have had manufactured and they are a vast improvement over the rares ones. I removed the old rubber from the passenger door on my Sandman and fitted the Harrisons rubber to check the fit and was very impressed with it..... I told Paul if they didn't work on my door before restoration I would bring them back for a refund.

    I don't know if they are doing Torana ones yet but will be going past them tomorrow for work and can ask if you want. I know some guys on other forums have had trouble with slow postage from Harrisons so if they have the rubbers and you want some I can pick them up and send them to you.

    Thanks Mate

    I know the mob in Qld that is doing these.. It looks like they are going to be the way to go. I am working on the Hatchback Rear Quarter Window seals. So between them and me, we will have it sorted..

    cheers
