weather stripping/belt moldings 1981 tr7 convt

[413wrench]

Can't find complete kits for weather stripping and belt moldings for my 1981 TR7 convt. Can anybody help?

Depending on where you are, a popular source for TR7 parts is from our prairie pals at Victoria-British in Lenexa, Kansas. For those folks closer to the British Isles, the kind souls at Rimmers, or S&S, or Robsport can provide these items. And for those adventure seekers, a visit to a local interior parts distributor can turn up some surprising finds for a whole lot less than the retailers.

Belt moldings? supercass

Got it, used a search engine. It must be an American term. [:)] supercass

Ya I tried Brittish Victoria they no longer show a listing. It might help if I had proper terminalogy for what I call belt molding around windows.

I have never heard of belt moldings before and I quite pride myself as a Canadian in being bilingual, being fluent in English and American with a good understanding of Australian as well. Doing a quick search I think they are door waist seals (but I could be mistaken). Page 10 item 3 of VB's latest catalogue (now on line) for the outside. On their door cards the inside door waist seals (British term) are separate and replaceable.

You can get many trim parts from Macgregor in Canada. Yes they do ship to USA (part of the 1.7 billion dollars of trade crossing the border every day). They are called squeegee strips (Canadian term).

Any part not usually available can usually be sourced from Robsport or S&S (in UK) often with less shipping costs than from US suppliers (although US residents will have to pay more than their internal shipping costs).

Don't know why the disparate pricing on US/Canadian pricing as dollars been at par for some time now although it's a big discussion in Canada as this is across the board (ubiquitous).

Considering they are a Canadian Company. You would think it cheaper

I'll second Macgregor, great place for hard to find rubber bits.

Also, are you talking about the door seals (weather stripping). If so I got new stuff from VB that worked great. Don't get the furflex (or whatever they call it) it was crap. The stuff I got is listed as "plastic" but I can assure you it is rubber.

FI Spyder, over here in the UK, suspenders are what holds ladies nylon stockings up.
Amongst a certain age group talk of suspenders can cause over-excitement.
