Wing beading

Post by shauncwalsh » 23rd August 2018 - 7:45am

Is it still possible to get the seals that fit between the wings and body on a fastback.
The wings on mine are going to have to come off for some rust repairs and it looks like the seals may break up when the wings are removed :-(
Just as important, can you get them in white?

That's Beetle wing beading.. Wrong profile!
ISP stock Black Type 3 beading which can apparently be painted.
Treat Yours carefully & You might preserve it- A bathfull of stonkingly hot water might help
Alternatively, try people like Mario at T3HQ, Konny & Bert3 for nos

Every days a school day! What's the different between the two? Id always thought they were just round beading. Might need to look at what I've got!

Preserve Your original beading as much as possible shaun.. If You get stuck, I have a partial set of used white beading, so if You need specific chunks, You might get lucky! (if I can find them)

Different profiles front, middle and back.
Got mine from Simon Kelley, alias notch1500 on eBay.
