Resetting quarter light glass.

Post by BobM »

I need to reset the quarter light glass in my Traveller.
Could someone please recommend a source for the rubber.
I have only found 3mm thick in my search, which is clearly too thick.

You can buy quantities and various thicknesses of Nitrile Rubber Sheet on ebay etc

Neoprene sheet would probably also be ok

I think he's refering to the Quarterlight glass rubber which holds the glass in the chrome frame.

But yes if its a quarterlight rubber that he needs...then ESM are good as are Baines and Andrew E, Ebay etc

Assuming you're speaking of the glazing strip for the glass in the quarter light, have you tried the offering of the MGOC intended for MG models, AH Sprite etc?

You could always contact them and ask what thickness it is....

Thanks . Yes it is the glazing strip for the glass to the stainless frame.
The MGOC offering looks promising. I shall order some and see how it goes.

Thanks BobM

Just done exactly this job using 5 × 9 × 11mm flat Rubber Edging Trim.

It's snug but there again, you don't want it coming out easily.
