Can't recommend either of the COH Baines sections. Large is definitely too big and small doesn't reach the top of the metal, so I'm not convinced it will give a proper seal and fault-free running. The search continues (just hope this one takes less than 4 years to complete :roll: )

You're welcome to check them for yourself, though.

Last set sold from stock.

Now taking orders for the next batch. I need 3 pairs confirmed to make it worthwhile. If I get them by the end of January, delivery will be in mid to late March,

Is it still possible order a pair?
Can I fit also the secondary seal (like Esprit) in the new frame?

I have one extra set in the current order - first person to get an order form to me and pay for them when I send back the invoice will get them.

The section used is identical to the original, so the outer channel is there.

Its a bit early for me on this one Angus but shortly I will be needing a couple of pairs if that helps production for the next batch after.

It will, thanks. I anticipate scheduling that for end of April to allow for any orders taken at the NEC.

I purchased my frames some time ago (first batch?) and have been patiently waiting for a gap in both the weather and my diary to install. One thing I haven't done is any research on where and what types/ measurements anyone got any ideas?

Can you sell these singly? Has anyone fitted them to the earlier cars... 84?

Yes - and the pattern we're offering was set in 1982 and used on all Excels.

I picked up a batch yesterday so have some in stock now.

They look lovely !
Any idea where I can get a replacement for the rubber sealing strip on the outside of the glass at the top of the door? Is it the usual suspects?
