Sourcing new dust seals Hobart

[pinkiebearandpony]

Hi all have been on a mission of late to source new dust seal rubbers for our 63 Millard.  FYI the following places in Hobart do NOT stock and cannot get any older style profile rubbers:
Purple Pig - no longer called that is now Powell distributions
Brierley Hose and Handling
Kings "Trailers or their Caravan repair place/service centre
Jones and Rumley Glaziers
Ulrich Metals
Foamland.....the only place that I am hopeful for at this point is A & K Caravans who use some supplier where they may be able to match and replicate my specific seal...won't hold my breath though!

TonyH will happily send you a sample of his. Alternatively, Clark Rubber sometimes have the correct profile.

Also have some major issues getting out intact pieces of the old seals to provide a sample as it is so brittle have tried spraying all sorts down the aluminium frame and using all sorts of tools with not much success! Anyone out there have any ideas? Obviously at this point I don't want to take too much of it out until I can find a replacement as she's still waterproof at the moment!

Do you have Tony H's contact details? I have a 1965 Globetrotter and am looking for window seals? Thanks Alistair

Although my globetrotter profiles are quite different to anything Tony has. Try Clark Rubber. Can you put a photo up of your window rubber?

Thanks very much. I'll follow Tony up.
