Hi All,
   What was the origin of the weatherstripping for the door window 
seals and the door to bodyshell seals for the 
69's....................I think a modern bubble
type seal will work on the door to body seal.......also where would I 
find a supplier of a wiring harness from the firewall forward...I can
make up the rear harness myself by copying what I have.......would a 
universal harness like those offered by Painless Wiring and others 
work as long as there were enough circuits.....also where did we end 
up in the front window search.....I will be going to Fla. in March
(hopefully) and will be bringing back a rear plexi screen from 
Wirewheel.Is that an option ,to possibly get Wirewheel to import 
the front screens for us (just a thought)
  O.K. thats enough questions for now
 Cheers Dave #5577

Thanks Jac
     The seal info is great.....I do have a Rover V8 in my car would 
the Triumph harness still work?
       Cheers Dave #5577

so the early cars had a neoprene   D shaped strip glued to the body, 
with the radius pointing in. There are lots of stockists for this. But 
I did get mine from Rory at Marcos heritage. Do you mean the weather 
strip for the glass in the doors, that the glass slides up and down 
in? If you do then this on the early cars was a fibre material and not 
rubber. I got mine from a Caravan / Camper window manufacturer, and 
was able to purchase the exact size. The wiring harness I have always 
believed where  Triumph Spitfire/ Herald or some thing like that. But 
I don't know that for sure.

Dave,

Mine has the bubble type around the door opening that looks like it 
could be purchased almost anywhere.  JC Whitney has an excellent 
selection.  The side window outside window "wiper" seal is from a 
Triumph Spitfire.  Cut to fit.  Is there an inside seal for the side 
windows???  Don't have any on mine.

Can't help on the wiring altho there isn't that much to it.  If 
you're using an alternator you do away with 3 or 4 wires also.
