Marcos Maniacs

Juan,
That might have been Gier Olaf, in Norway. 
If you don't hear from him, I will send you the pics of my car.


Best Regards, 
Larry

a curved lip seal. On the curved lip, I had to add a 1/8 x 3/8" soft
rubber strip behind the lip to make it meet the windscreen post when the door
is closed.

>>Steve I
just finished my 3L restore. Seal from Rory was a two part. First the u shaped
to trim the opening then a seperate D shaped rubber that is then glued in
place. If you email them they will send a few pictures of how to install. If no
luck let me know and I can resend what they sent me.

added after it left the factory. I have worked on 3  1970's Marcos and
have not seen that seal on any of them. Two of the cars were only 1 year old
when I did the work on them (one of which is my own).

>>>Depending on where you live, The least expensive solution would be
to order the seal from Rory at Heritage.    
>>>I used the Fur flex in the last Marcos I did for Ron McCleod, that
he purchaced from a supplier he deal with. He wanted the seal to match the
interior (blue), so used the blue covered seal.   
>>>When installing the seal, the starting and ending point is the
square, lower front corner of the opening.    
>>>There should be a 3" piece if vinyl trim that is face glued
to the 'down' lip of the aluminum door sill trim (back side), That closes out
the gap between the sill and the pinch weld where the seal goes. The
vinyl is held by the seal.

>>>>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.
