Pics needed please of trim around door opening on a 1970ish GT

2012-10-18 by Stevefzr

Hi Folks,

I'm making progress putting my 1970 3000GT back together.  I'm ready to start putting the interior back in, but I don't have the original seals around the door opening so I don't know what to buy.  There's a typical seam that goes all around the door opening.  The seam is overlapped with the interior trim, so I expect that it should have a "U" shaped pinch channel like furflex, with a rubber seal on one side.  The thing is, there are thousands of different profiles, and if I get the wrong one, either the seal woun't work or the door won't close properly. Can someone either point me to a supplier of the right seal, or a photo or drawing?  Also, I found one piece of flat sponge rubber about 1" wide by 1/3" thick that looks like it fits at the top front edge of the door, just below the door glass.  I'm not sure if this was an extra seal at this point to stop rain that runs back along the bonnet, or if this seal should have gone all the way around the door opening.  If the latter, then I assume there was still some sort of pinch trim to cover the seam.

Here's some pics of the seam with the interior vinyl overlapping it, plus the bit of rubber seal that I found.

Does anyone know of an assembled Marcos in Victoria or South Australia I can have a look at?
