window rubber seals

[foxy]

Hi Everyone

I need help in finding window rubber seals for my 1967 "Franklin Freeway"caravan.

I've already tried caravan dealers in Canberra & Qbn, The local Clark rubber store also Spectrum rubber, none of them could help me.

I am awaiting a reply from"Omiston rubber" as to whether they can help me.
Below is the profiles of the two types of seals,
the one on the rightis to seal the glass into the window frame ,
the left one is fitted to the outside of the frame .

Foxy, if you are interested send me a sample of each and I should be able to help . I am fairly sure that the glazing rubber you want I have in stock. The other one I would want to see. So as i said if you want send a sample.
To
Roadmaster Caravans
4/10 Dorset Street
Lonsdale SA 5160

regards Lazza

Hi All

Thanks for your replies.

Paul (sales Mgr) from Spectrum said to produce extrusions that no longer exist would cost $700 for each extrusion die and and because I only need what he calls a short run the end cost to me would be about $15.00 per metre,

( this equates to about $400.00 to complete all windows, not allowing for the $700 if it's to added on)
it's turning into quite a costly exercise .

As you know my motto is "I don't have problems only challenges" it appears I have come up against an enormous challenge this time,but if I keep knocking on doors one will eventually open

Must go and put samples of rubber seals in the mail to Lazzo

regards

Hi foxy,
I replaced those same seals on my Franklin, The outer ones i got from a Clarke rubber dealer BUT they were odd stock he had bought from another rubber supplier. the inner seals I used were for millard windows, they are a different profile but fit perfectly. Available from Caravans Plus or Award RV . By the way I think the windows are Alfab brand & seals are available for them from Caravans Plus.
Have a look at this thread for more information on suppliers of parts.

A big thanks to Keith from Alfab who was very helpful and able to supply 2 of the window seals directly for the Hilandale.
