Club 80-90 Forums

Afternoon Guys, after some help, my 1990 Multivan, its currently being resprayed, but having difficulty tracking down front door seals that attach to the door pillars via a grove. It must be a newer addition as looked at a couple of earlier vans at Sandown Park and they didnt have the seals fitted. Any help greatly appreciated i can attach a picture if that helps. Trying to track down to replace as current ones are split  :? .. thx Gaz

It would appear looking around the Forum I'm looking for whistle stop strips, which are also like rockin horse sh*t...along with the roof gutter strips that fell apart on removal...

the whistle stops are available , often flebay de.whats happened to your existing ones.
the gutter trim is avilable, i think I only do the silver one though not the black , ihave corners in black but the 2 3/4 sets i have are spoken for on restos im doing but agian they do come up for sale and wont keep you off the road.just no doubt one of a list of things to be on the hunt for

There is a pair of seals on ebay that need the doors removing to fit. There is also an additional rubber strip that ran along the angled edge of a cab door. I'#e seen billy739 list them for sale before

and make sure that you have the tin ware to fit as the seals on there own wont work

Thanks for you help guys. I will see if i can salvage my whistle stops before i buy more used ones, seeing a lot of parts are now obsolete, potential money spinner for a buddy entrepreneur. Ref gutter trim, i see a few posts ref using classic mini trim, would you recommend?

So you are really after A pillar trims?

Heritage, Brickwerks, JK usually sell them

I will take a photo, will have to get over the spray shop.. as the doors are off would be a good time to get the new ones in..

yep good idea, ,if you find a way to fit them with the doors on please pm me......

have a look at http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; They do a wide range of seals and everything else for trimming out classic vehicles. They usually have a stand at most classic car shows and are a very good company to deal with, I've had lots of stuff from them over the years.

ye they do decent stuff, but the whistle stops are a moulded section and also handed

Thanks guys

Would these have been on a 1984 van? Mine was totally stripped when I bought her so I can't tell.

no , you wouldnt have had them , i have a pair of the metal channels for them but not the seals themselves
