Hi all
I'm getting a 1973 SWB back on the road and would like to renew all the bodywork seals other than around the doors (which are still pretty good). What I was wondering is whether there is a roughly common seal size that I could buy as a roll of expanded neoprene or solid rubber and make up the roof/sides/windscreen/door tops myself - this would be a lot cheaper than buying the original or Britpart replacements, so would make sense if it's possible. The existing seals have pretty much disintegrated, so there isn't much to work from, so if anyone can give me a clue on what size might do the job I would be really grateful - a local supplier has adhesive backed expanded neoprene in 25 x 10 or 12mm, which I thought might be about right?
