RE: SER1 Retainer for weather strips

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/11/29]

Karen,
I can't comment about the kits that Stafford Dovey supplies (Red Dragon
Restorations).  I will soon be ordering a full set of weather seals for
my 88" from Stafford.  From experience he provides a good service: as
his adverts state, he is more than happy to chat with people about their
restorations and LRs in general.

With regard to the metal retaining strips for your 80", you might
consider getting someone to cut you some strips of 2 or 3mm thick
aluminium to the dimensions you require.  You could then drill these to
suit your purposes.  Your local welding shop might have some off cuts of
metal that would suit.  You might want to talk to Stafford about these
strips as well.

The restoration of my 1951 S1 80 is progressing. Today I took the
complete wings and door bottoms to a local welding shop and they said
they can fix the fractures and other damage. 

Anyone know a good source for the retainers for front weather strips and
the bottom tailgate weather strips of a 1951 S1 80?  Part numbers are
301409, 301413, 301414, 301415, and 301422, respectively. These are the
metal pieces that are riveted in. Mine have been mangled and drilled
multiple times. 

Has anyone tried the Red Dragon Restorations firm for the complete
weather strip rubber kit for both doors of a S1 80? 

Regards,

Karen Sindir
