Replacing the tape around the base of the hood

Postby e42 » Fri 17.05.2019, 15:49

Good afternoon all,

The sticky-backed vinyl 'tape' that runs around the base of the hood (S1 SE) is perished, does anyone know where I could get some similar tape to replace this with?

Also, I managed to shear off a couple of the scrivets when removing the hood storage compartment floor to access the fuel pump, are these still available?

Thanks in advance,

Dom

Great, thanks, although with the delivery charge I’ll wait until I have a bigger order!

Hi, thanks for the offer, but I found some on Amazon quite cheap with free delivery! I’m hoping to make CC coincidentally to have a look at Jamie’s seals if he’s there, in with the general interest for the day!

Thanks,

Dom
