Where to get hatch seals at a reasonable price?

[Murph]

Thanks for all the replies guys.

2many: The shifter boot is non original and leaks quite a bit, so i'll have to get someone to have a good sniff of the air coming though it when the cars moving.

Zedrally, flyer4100: Will give scotts a yell. Thanks.

1Bravo6: If scotts is still too much then I'll give the wreckers a whirl. As for that drain hole in the mudguard well, while I didn't notice one there, if it was there, I've sealed it up. I swear I have sealed up every bloody hole around the rear of this car from inside and out. Another big one was around the fuel filler and the over flow hoses. The two vent hose grommets are still good.

On the rubber bits, the Old Auto Rubber Co, 148 South Pine Road, Enoggera, Q 4051, 3354 2053, will very likely have what you want. I have bought some stuff from him in the past, BTW he also sells some very nice custom made aluminium gear lever knobs.

On the fumes, believe it or not mine used to be a problem but is no longer. Must have been something incidental I did, maybe the rear end of the exhaust sticks out a bit more.

I'm thinking of experimenting with longer tips, just to see how much of a difference it makes. I've noticed a number of zeds now that have longer than usual tips.

I've gone through a few tips and found that for both looks and fumes a nice size dumper solved my ploblem and I think it looks a lot neater than a long pipe sticking out at the rear. Good luck!

I made up a dodgy extension the other day that made it about 150mm longer. basically I got bugger all fumes upto around 80kmh.

While I'm not a fan of dumpers (or extra long straight tips for that matter) I might give it a go. I'm willing to live with the look if it means I don't have to breathe that $^!# anymore.

They have complete seal kits with adhesive for sale for 189.95 (70-73) 239.95 (74-6/75), and 199.95 (7/75 - 78). I have heard mixed reviews about the door seals fit, however MSA in CA also offers seal kits.

The victoria british one listed above covers the door, quarter windows, hatch, and hatch glass.

Please translate for us in the American Colonies what it a nice size dumper?

[St.stephen]

yeah I was wondering that as well. My immediate picture something relating to the morning after a long night of drinking cheap canned beer :tapemouth

By a big dumper, he means a dump tip on the exhaust, as in one that turns downwards.
