Says they come with the clips for the early cars. At this price I could buy OE but don't know if they are any better than the Black Dragon seals I have.

I put the Black Dragon seals on last month and I have had enough of that sh**.

I could not say on those, the best fit i have had personally is the 1st gen rx7 seals fwiw.

John,

You should contact Les at CDM and see if he has new door seals yet. He posted about new rubber parts a few days ago in another thread http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showpost.php?p=338491&postcount=40.

Thanks for the info Mike. I missed that post. I will check with Les and see what they have come up with. I only need the doors at this point. I bought the complete kit from BD becuase MSA couldn't get the Precision kit. Everything else seems to fit nicely and appears to be correct based on what I pulled from my car during tear down. Even the hatch seal works decent although it did rub on the hinges a bit. Nothing that a little Sil-Lube couldn't rectify.

If they are supple enough for the doors to close and align properly I would gladly pay whatever they ask within reason.

I gave up on the BD seals yesterday after spending 4 hours trying to adjust the passenger door properly. No matter what I did (and I followed E's tutorial and others) the door was never even close to flush. When I thought I had it "close enough" I installed the welting and the door wouldn't close. I'm done. If it cost me $100.00 to redo my doors and they work properly I would have been ahead of the game.

I would still like to know if anyone has tried these. I would purchase one side just to see how soft the rubber is but they only offer exchanges, no refunds.
