N.O.S. Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Here's a Norwich-based company which extrudes rubber sections for windscreen surrounds/frames - they work with several classic /vintage vehicle clubs and have around 1,000 extrusion dies. If you need a specific rubber section for your vehicle, then if they can't already match up what you need they will make a die for between £100 and £160 to do the job. Pretty cheap if spread over several vehicle owners! I've used them for many years and can highly recommend them. Just send a sample section or an accurate scale drawing them: info@walker-rubber.co.uk or tel. 01603 415044 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvinthemartian Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Sent them a sample of windscreen rubber seal for the Martian, as i can't locate it anywhere. Got return email about a week later, £135 development charge plus yea much per metre. Will save some pennies and get it made. Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Daymond Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 can you post a picture of the rubber with some measurements etc? If it's the same as the militant, I'll go halves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M5Clive Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Hi Tony The 'closed cab' Jimmy need a new Windscreen rubber. Do you know if Rex keeps them on the shelf or would I be better approaching the contact you have given here? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Clive - the closed cab GMC screen rubber corners are moulded to shape in order to achieve the tight radius. I don't think a straight extrusion will be anywhere near so effective. If RW cannot supply I'm sure he will point you in the right direction. I've picked up a couple in recent years.

marvinthemartian Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 A couple of shots of the Martian windscreen seal, not brilliant pics. This one shows how the seal fits into the window frame. Cheers Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Warne Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 If I recall, the only place I could locate the inner screen rubber surround was "Chevys of the 40's" in the US. Rex didn't have any, or know where to get them. I believe the rubber surround is the same for the late 30's civilian Chevy/GMC trucks, but call these guys up - they'll know exactly what you need. I think price was good too - $40 or similar. http://www.chevsofthe40s.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 If someone is going to order from USA I'd be happy to grab one and split postage costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
