ha ha Mustang. One is the spare from my EJ & the other is the spare from a Viscount caravan. While we are talking tyres, I'm on the hunt for a pair of 13" Holden rims within cooee of Echuca Vic.

It's almost the same as my 1945 Wayfarer (built by Globe) that I'm restoring now.

Hi SGTL. I got my Rowvan rubber from Clark Rubber, so you're correct there. You need to know what size openings you want. They do have online shopping now, so why not go with the times?  |

Yes that's the right stuff from ebay. It's two parts - the rubber that goes around the glass, and the locking bead when the rubber is fitted to the van. I bought Clark rubber stuff that didn't have the locking strip and it was impossible to fit. I rang a windscreen fitter for advice and he supplied and fitted for $30 a window.
I had the fitter install the locking bead to the inside so from the outside it looks the same as the rubber was fitted in 1954.

Hi Sgtl,
I remember seeing Globetrotters in the distant past that had that mottled effect.
I always thought someone just flicked paint on the doors!
Cheers

I've seen a very similar effect on furniture years ago. Different colour acrylic paints were literally splattered on randomly.
What I remember of the technique was a scrub brush, like a heavy duty hair brush was dipped in a colour and then something akin to an old wooden ruler or paint stirrer was dragged across the bristles in such a way that tiny droplets were flung onto whatever colour basecoat was used.
Also, I did a custom paint job on a bicycle a long time ago using different colour spray cans held much further away than you would normally so that drops landed on the surface rather than the even fan one would normally aim for.
I suspect in a factory such as the one that made Globes, they may have adopted a similar technique using a spray gun.

It could be a spray gun with straight paint in it it gives a splatter effect I used to paint the Holden ute tubs with very little thinners in it causing the paint to string with the gun set to narrow jet the Holden ute used to have a tan background with black and red stringing through it cheers chris

According to a house painter, I asked about it, it was a paint they used to call "chicken shit".
Was purchased as such and sprayed on.

More window rubber woes. The small galley window & 9mm marine ply. I grabbed a sample of the biggest piece they had at Clark rubber but it's still too narrow & there is no way it will turn around the corners either. My builder man Noel is thinking of making a frame to hold it on the inside but that still doesn't solve the outside. I have been to C Rubber, a windscreen shop & a glass suppliers, none have got a solution for me.

Hi Sgtl,
I believe that ecscavator window replacements might be able to supply or even fit for you.
Cheers

No sorry,I had one done a few years ago and got the local guy to do it.
Maybe try the stock agent who might know of someone in your area.
