Chris Witor has remanufactured the T2000 quarterlight seal, why not buy one and try it?
Seriously, something needs doing about this, If I had a few grand floating about, i'd give it a go (or comission CW to) The T2000 seal is pretty similar in shape to the Dolly one, just a tad bigger I think!
Not to be the bearer of more bad news, but I reckon only about 1 in every 4 frames I pull out of cars is re-usable once rust and siezed bits are TIC. Not to mention the plastic bush at the bottom hinge which is almost always cracked or broken, but I would imagine is pretty easy to remanufacture and may even be the same as the T2000 one. ( A perfect candidate for 3D printing if ever there was one)
I'd not until recently considered the quarterlight to be a problem area, I took both out of the Carledo when I repainted and rebuilt the body in 2012 and both were in good shape and functional. So when I was offered a NOS offside unit for pennies, I almost turned it down, only my inherent inablity to refuse a bargain made me buy it! Boy am I glad I did now! BOTH frames on my Sprint were beyond retrieving and between the other 6 I had in stock (all still in doors) I managed to scrape up one barely usable N/S one for my Sprint and one acceptable O/S one for the white auto Sprint that Alun and I are doing. All the rest were bin fodder for one reason or another! They are also a very real pain to dismantle to change the seals if you need to keep all the bits intact! Out of all the 4 scrapped, I did manage to salvage 1 O/S seal in fair condition, all the others were toast!
