C O Baines rubbers and extrusions

[Pete Lewis]

I keep prompting guys to use C O Baines for just about any profile you wll ever need 

apart from door/glass/screen seals they also do moulded hoses pedal rubbers and much more than just seals 

a really helpfull Co and they can supply samples on request its your  one stop shop for anything rubber (  not something for the weekend sir) 

Classic Cars (coh-baines.co.uk)

click classic cars  and scroll to triumph   select model 

or just browse their whole amazing range of profiles and sections

Pete - It might be useful if we all post the reference of the seals that we have found to fit. Perhaps you could edit them into a list on your first post in a similar way to the index that I keep on the first post of my restoration thread so that I can find things. Just an idea for when you have nothing else to do.... I'll close the door on my way out!!

[Pete Lewis]

these are all good ideas 

its who's got the time or where withall to sort it out 

Door seals on 2000/2500   i used SRS 071   has the correct Tee section retainer 

fits easy in the retaining C channel takes about 5 minutes per door to fit 

some stuff sold is just wrong and guys suggest removing the door to fit it  ...thats just rubbish

there seem different    COB listd 2000/25000 windscreen seal as ES43  and Stag  as ES86  @ £26.97p   ( good price )

have alook at a knock on single flip seal like  DX73 or DX100

you dont want a ballon seal or you have to slam the doors

To be honest I've been using "East Kent Trimmers" as both my brothers use them!

[Pete Lewis]

they obviously get there stock from COB  and add a few £s so maybe conveinient but more expensive than the guys who make them all for the trade

This has reminded me, I must get some DX73 seals for Bertie the Bond: I've had two different specialists replace the seals, and each time they have fitted furflex balloon ones, so I'm on door slamming duties, which can't do the fibreglass any good. Time to revert to the original lip seals. Can anyone confirm that DX73 is correct for a Herald/Vitesse?

Thanks Paul -don't know how I missed it🙄. I'm going for 12 metres, as the Bond has opening rear windows, which I reckon will require another 1.5 metres, plus an allowance for corners etc.

[Pete Lewis]

cob will send you sample if you call them

dx100 has a deeper flip

try both

Does that have the furry covering or is it just rubber?

Gt6 door seals, side window and rear hatch? Contacted Baines and they said they don't currently stock those items? So if someone has order, what did you order? 

Going to put my order in tonight as the stag windscreen needs to come out so i can weld a patch in.

Hi Mathew DX73 is rubber

The trimmer who did my Spitfire suggested I should replace the furry-covered door seals (NOS Unipart I'd acquired from a colleague who'd had them in his garage since he owned a Spitfire back in the day, and already failing a month after I fitted them) with something  like the DX73 for its significantly better durability.
