Remounting guards

Post by Blacky »

I will be doing this shortly and I need the rubbers that sit on top of the subframe , I THINK they are available by the metre from Clark Rubber - someone on here had the correct part number to order them - Parisian62 , was it you ?

I bought a few meters of rubber channel that fit neatly over the edge of the sub frame, made a series of pie cuts to get the shape and then punched the holes that was required, pretty easy.
Never looked into getting new reproduction rubbers, never entered my mind :roll: , Trev 8) .

I'm interested in these also.

Any pictures of the rubber profiles, and/or final look after holes cut etc, would be appreciated. :D

Yep , bought the rubber at Clarks , got one that fits over the top of the subframe and some 1mm flat for the back edge of the guard, cost just over $20 I think.

Just wanted to see which ones to buy.
My old ones had disintegrated, so I don't know what they look like. :cry:

Hey Blacky, do you have a pic handy of the rubber you bought from Clarks? Like Finny, mine crumbled when I took my guards off...

Cheers, Andrew :)
