4A rubber weatherstrip comparison
4A rubber weatherstrip comparison
On my 1949 roadster, the rubber weatherstrip that is located between the rear part of the front fender and the front part of the running board was in bad condition--"perished" as our English cousins say. I noticed that the Moss online catalog under MG TC/TD had what appeared to be a similiar product to the Singer, and at about $7.00 a set, was cheap, so I ordered a pair. They don't fit--too short. Also, they have a slight ridge along the top, whereas the originals are more mushroom shaped. I checked with Bill Haverly and found he sells a strip that is more correct for the Singer, but comes in a straight piece and needs to be cut to make the right angle bend on the outside. I just received a pair and think these will work fine. Just another example of something to add to the aftermarket list of what fits and what doesn't.

Paul: you mean of me in my spandex speedo? No, I guess not. I don't have a digital camera, but will take a bunch of "old fashion" 35 mm shots of the rubber strips and also of my body-work-in progress on Wart Hog and send them to you.
