bonnet seal and rear panel edging/trim...?
foes - 15/1/08 at 11:07 PM

Right i'm in the process of fitting bodywork to my st locost and have a couple of questions regarding trim/edging...

1. What is the type of seal/trim that fits on the front edge of the scuttle and rear edge of the nosecone where the bonnet sits on to it?

2. I've just trial fitted the rear fibreglass panel and would like some kind of trim to finish off the top edge, what would look and fit the best?

Also where are the best suppliers to purchase them from?

Thanks for any info

Nice locost source of edge trim i discovered when stripping the range rover is the trim that goes all the way round the edges of the metal rear seat base and back, probably about 4-5meters in total.

probably free from your local scrap yard

assuming you're using the ST bodywork, I just put a strip of this stuff on the lip of the scuttle and nosecone.
