Black Cat Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Where can I get the correct seal for the rear windscreen for my hardtop. I've looked in the obvious places, Rimmer, Wins, T. D. Fitchett and Moss but the cheapest one I can fine is still about £60.00.? Have sent a message to COH Baines to see if they have anything suitable. I'm told that it should be a Lip Seal type of profile. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 James Paddock seems to have them, but that price you've listed appears to be the price... https://www.jamespaddock.co.uk/hardtop-rear-window-seal-mkiv1500-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 COH Gaines do actually have a moulding which is very similar to the original. Their ref is IRS1181EPDM and is £8.52 (plus vat???) per mtr, you will need 3mtr. They also do an insert for it ref PT10a. This is a cheaper option than Padd*did, but I must stress that I have not tried it as yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Cat Posted February 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Thanks Badwolf but I've already brought and fitted one which I got from Rimmer Bros now. Cost me close £100.00 with postage and packing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Sorry for the late reply. Not been on for a few weeks, been catching up on other things. Not that it will be much use but I have a built up a list of probable matches for door and hardtop seals for the standard Spitfire hardtop. Haven’t bought any yet, too many other things to catch up on thanks to a Windows 10 update taking out my virtual xp computer data files. Yes, I did have backups but they are u/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Microsoft wanted to kill off XP completely so the built-in Hyper-V not longer supports it. I'm in the process of helping my brother virtualise his old XP machine onto a nice new Win10 box - if it's going to be trouble for him I may need to take the plunge and get him on Linux.

Badwolf Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 I was the victim of my own computer ignorance. I was using VMWare 12. When a Win10 update came in I stupidly let it run. It came up with Win10 does not support this virtual computer, remove? Yes, I agreed. It not only took out VM12 but all the data files within its shell. Then Icouldn’t I find the data files in my backups. Not happy. Now to add insult etc, one of my backup drives is dying, thankfully I caught it early.

NonMember Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Ah, yes, the Microsoft standard solution to bits of Windows being broken - to delete any applications that use them. Sadly it's not just them. The maintainers of "systemd" (the currently in-vogue system service manager for Linux) found a problem with unwise renaming of Ethernet ports (where admins of boxes with multiple net ports wanted to rename them on top of each other) and "fixed" it by completely banning the explicit naming of ANY device - you only get the kernel's auto-identified name. Then the Gentoo maintainers took to "fixing" the lack of a regular maintainer for their packaging of applications by just deleting the package. And on and on. Still, at least Apple have finally (almost) fixed the "Safari can't upload files" bug in all but the very latest MacOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Now looking for a replacement external hard drive to replace the dying backup unit. Very tempted with this one https://forum.tssc.org.uk/topic/6731-10tb-hard-disk-cheap/?tab=comments#comment-87096 If anyone has any feedback on it I would be very grateful. Nothing special needed, just to replace the old 4tb NTFS (I think) drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockape Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Would the 1500 seal be the same (or close) as the Mk3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about profile but the Mk3 one is shorter and more rounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
