Hi Chris,
The early Spitfire hardtop rear seal is another "Rarebits4classics" product
scheduled for delivery around the end of the year. I expect to have the first samples
for test fitting around the end of this month. This will be a continuous section to be
cut to length. Estimated cost will be around 25 pounds sterling.
The chrome finisher is the same extruded plastic section as used on the front seal. It
is possible that very early cars had anodised aluminium trims as on the earlier Herald
1200, but I've not seen any of this type. Standard-Triumph moved to the plastic trim
for most applications from 1963.
Cheers,
Bill.
