If I can get the front and rear quarterlight rubbers remanufactured what would the demand be?
What I'm talking about are the rear QL Rubber part 708692 and 708693
and the fronts part 808956 and 808957. On the fronts, not the rubber strip that seats the glass, as per the photo below the rubber seal that seals the QL frame to the outer frame.

I'd buy a set if priced at something a bit more reasonable than the £295 a pair I got quoted for as a custom made replacement by Edgeware Motor Rubber and Trim.
Current fleet: '75 Sprint, '73 1850, Daihatsu Fourtrak, Honda CG125, Yamaha Fazer 600, Shetland 570 (yes it's a boat!)
Past fleet: Triumph 2000, Lancia Beta Coupe, BL Mini Clubman, Austin Metro, Vauxhall Cavalier MK1 & MK2, Renault 18 D, Rover 216 GSI, Honda Accord (most expensive car purchase, hated, made out of magnetic metal as only car I've ever been crashed into...4 times), BMW 318, Golf GTi MK3 16v x 3
What you might find is that there's already a similar extrusion that can be modified for our purpose, this would significantly reduce the cost. I know when screen rubbers were discussed the other year I did investigate a run via Sprintparts in Aus but the price was prohibitive and to be honest the manufacturer was not really interested.
Always happy to support these sorts of ventures if there's demand. I personally don't need any right now but who knows, I may do in the future.
