The very best strips are marketed by Fitchetts as Spitfire items. they are too long for Dolomites and need to be cut down. But as far as I am aware, they are the ONLY ones you can get that have rebates moulded into the lower reverse side to make clip fitting relatively easy, rather than a horrible frustrating chore!
