Hi Bob..
My post was in responce to the post about ISP supplying my parts in the US.
Do you mean the Vent wing seal ?. If soo that is a difficult one scince they were already made by POP's business partner. Eventhough they still have the tooling they refuse to make the products. Something to do with 'Asian loosing of face' . because of this its difficult for me to invest in the tooling approx $900 per side. Because if i doo and decide to make them they could then re manufacture or release a load of the proctuct that they have stored away.
I think you can see my dilema .
Did you find a correct profile for the early door seal?
Thanks Simon

Did you find a correct profile for the early door seal? Thanks Simon Yes I do see your problem. It's a shame they won't produce them, since there's a market for them. I know I'm not the only one who could use a set. And you setting up to produce them, only to have a competitor under cut your price and sell them cheaper would leave you with a large stock of parts, and an even larger investment of time and money tied up.  While it's not 100% correct, It does work on keeping the water out. I'm using the 1959 to 66 T-1 ghia upper door seal. It does create a little bit of an outward lip at the outer edge, but the glass does fit nice in it, and it seals across the top of the door opening. I'm still searching for a better "B" post seal, as none of the T-1 ghia seals seem to fit correctly in the "B" post groove (they're loose in the groove). However, right now I'm using a standard T-3 wing window upright seal (not the T-1 version) for that spot, and it seems to be doing the job. The problem, is tring to find more of them. I got mine thru a guy in Oregon, as him and I bounced ideas back and forth for a week on what might work. I sent him some high res pictures of my trouble spots. He had a bunch of German rubber pieces that he was testing, until he found a combination that might work for me. |

As far as I know he does not offer the "rear air duct deflector seal". That was reproduced several years ago by a Thailand group but it is no longer available.

Hi,
i tried contacting Mr. Kelley but didnt get any response.
for my restoration, i need almost all rubber parts available - roof to door, quarter window, turn signals seals, rear lights seals and perhaps the front and back window seals.
Thanks.
Ravivos.

Since you're in Israel then Simon Kelley will sell his parts to you. He's likely traveling or on vacation, so keep trying. He'll answer you soon. Be sure to ask him for the complete list of T34/T3 seals that he offers for T34 owners.
