Hi all

Having finally collected all the parts to convert my 2a 88'' truck cab (including cat flap- ouch!), I'm going to make a start over the next few weeks. Questions is which seals will I need? I've identified I'll need LH and RH of these but I can't find the ones for the bottom of the sides where they meet the tub. Thinking I'll also need windscreen top seal and various door seals. Does anyone have a list, or any tips for this project?

Photo of the current truck attached- any interest in the roll bar?

Joe

A full list on Paddocks site, it works out a bit pricey to buy the all. I ended up re using old seals and sealed with clear silicone after all fitted up.
You hardtop will most likely leak, most do. Finding the leak is near impossible......

I got my seal for the roof to the tub from dunsfold around 5 years ago, can't remember how much it was, just phoned them up, iirc they sell it by the metre and I just asked them for enough to do it and they sent it thru

I used closed cell neoprene strips for mine with the sticky back. No leaks so far and works out much cheaper than the hard rubber ones.

Got the lot from fastgaskets2000 on ebay. I think he is on holiday at the mo.
