Where's the best place to get front and rear screen rubbers, it's a 1980 Sprint and it's got the beads in the rubbers.

Re: Screen Rubbers
What were they like to fit and are they a good fit?
There was something some time ago about screen rubbers but I can't find the post now, and I remember someone coming highly recommended.

Re: Screen Rubbers
I got front and rear rubbers with the chrome infill strips from Rimmers too. Fitted fine and don't leak, but I did use the black screen sealer stuff (Arbomast).

Re: Screen Rubbers
They were easy to fit (well, as easy as any is). Years ago rimmers (and others) had a duff batch but I'm betting they're long gone. These were a perfect fit. The in-fill makes your thumbs hurt without the right tool. For the actual fitting I used a thin steel-renforced washing line and a gentle circular motion (if you just yank it you'll tear rubber).
Re: Screen Rubbers
You can buy from Baines direct from their website, they are the people who supply Rimmers and most others
Some people are like Slinky's, they serve no real purpose in life but bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
Re: Screen Rubbers
Thanks guys, are they the best available or are there better ones, who's replaced theirs?

Re: Screen Rubbers
Unless you're after an early style rear rubber (no bright trim insert) in EPDM from Chris Witor, then Baines is it.
