Im guessing you dont want to lash out on new repo rubbers, so your best bet would be clark rubber etc. You should be able to get a profile pretty close, but it could be a bit of hit n mis as to whether the doors will close.
Personaly i would buy repo rubbers from rare spares.

If you go the new rubbers, get them from Rare Parts, phone number 08 9470 1117 - they fit HEAPS better than the rares ones.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Clark Rubber can get anything Rares can. I got bailey channel there, although I went with no chrome but I could have ordered the right stuff if I wanted.

Between Bunnings & Clarke Rubber you could end up with a fairly cheap rebuild :lol: :lol:

I've been to Clark Rubber for valiant door trim, it's standard on a roll. But hadn't thought to try them for the door rubbers.

The top of the front doors for FB/EK is quite unique, so it would have to be ordered in. I would imagine. :? :?
