It's only £18 for 1kg reel of PVA filament, so it won't be a big component of any final cost.
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

If I need a seal, I think I would improvise.

Off the top of my head, so to speak, I am thinking combining sections of drop channel rubber with door glass outer sealing strIp...?

Perversely I think it's the scanning that will cause the trouble. I'm having a bit of an issue finding someone to do that part. Would you have any ideas of someone who might be able to have a go?

One quote back for the scanning - £300 seems a tad excessive...

I think it may be possible to make a mould direct from the seal, so that's going to be my next avenue of investigation.

Looking up the thread for someone else and just spotted the question. I haven't done it yet but was considering building a 3D scanner from an XBOX Kinect unit, built an augmented reality sandbox with one which worked really well, so have plans as they say.
