Don't muck around ring the bloke on the thread that I linked this thread into "Rare Spares Greed".

Those aren't a perfect fit, a little bit thick hence why I needed to open the channel a bit but hey they're better than that monstrosity you got there! I better check the ones I bought for my 1000 in PNG, those took forever to get sent too.

That's pretty lousy. You should be getting a pretty good price going by their performance so far.

Attached is a pic of the profile of the rubber I had, sorry can't remember part numbers etc, I think I actually bought these off eBay as rare spares parts but no longer required.

The inner ones I have are Part Number DB4015 from RS but I haven;t fitted them as the originals are fine.

That sucks Hamza.
Funny that Rare Spares AND Scotts old Auto Rubbers both think that...someones being lazy here.
I remember telling him to maybe change it on the catalogue, maybe he did...but got the feeling unless you own a classic american car, hes just not that interested. :/

Yeah it does have a metal strip through the middle ... And it sure does look 3 times the length ... Thats what confused me because the inside requires a strip that deep, not the outside ...

I was sure the felt goes on the inside, but the clips are too deep for the felt strip ...

I ordered them from rarespares

https://rsp-secure.com/rarespares/default.asp?part_number=rdb4014
https://rsp-secure.com/rarespares/default.asp?part_number=rdb4015

I think they're both wrong ... :S

#OOPS# I just look at that picture properly, they have metal in there??

The one I got was without a metal spine, it was very flexible and difficult to press down. Who did you buy from? Mine were rarespares parts, and it had a different profile to the stock one slightly bigger but nothing like what you have there. I think I have some spares somewhere if you need a part number or pic.

Sorry about that, hopefully you didn't try to fit it! And thanks to Scully for spotting that.

I think the outer you have been sold is no where near the profile of a 1000
I know this because I went out to Scots Old Auto rubbers in person and he tried to sell me the same sort.
Has it got steel strip in it and look 3 times the depth it should be Hamza?
If so this is more than likely a seal for a 1600, and should probably not be attempted to fit.
I cant remember what I ended up getting, it was the closest profile I could find, still not perfect and I havent tried to fit it yet so sorry I cant be much help there.
