[Mgs] Best quality rubber parts?

[Councill, David]

Depends on the parts. I use Macgregor when quality/fit is an issue. This
would be mostly for window and door seals in particular. The fit is
better but the cost is a bit higher than Moss or a Moss reseller.

He is located in Canada if that matters. Hoses and grommets I still get
from Moss resellers (LBCarco, Just Brits).

Subject: [Mgs] Best quality rubber parts?

Hi all,

I'm finally reassembling the '74, after a ten-year hiatus.  I need to
order various rubber bits - window and windscreen seals, engine hoses,
fuel neck grommets, etc. - and I'm wondering who has the best quality
pieces?  I've had some problems in the past - the distant past, mind
you - with aftermarket rubber falling apart after a couple of years,
and I don't care to repeat that experience.  I don't know if the
quality of aftermarket rubber has improved recently, or if there might
be a supplier that stocks OEM pieces still.  Anyone?  Kelvin?

Thanks,

Todd Mullins
