door seals/ draught excluders

Post by kessey »

hi i have a 1964 morris 1000 and im finding it difficult to fit the seals around the door on. everytime i break the little clips and its hard enough to get them on in the first place because they are so small.

is there an easier way

thanks louis

You can get a modern equivalent seal it goes on without the clips. Any of the big suppliers stock it

I've used this but it does require a bigger gap around the door. this is adjustable (via the striker plate) at the rear, but the front edge might prove to be a problem.
Older and more confused than I could ever imagine possible.

I have got some of this trim from Woolies, and i have made a little slider to widen the clip gap before i try and put the trim on. Its just a screwdrive which ive ground down a bit! Works a treat.
Ultimate rust cure for your moggy....paint it brown, at least that way you dont notice the rust as much!!
