Hi peeps...Just wondered if anyone knows of a source for the front side window runners with the triangle on..I found these on Grimmer bros site but I'm not sure if they are the same?..If not does anyone have a source please.

Cheers...Ziga

Mark:
I've always understood they were fabricated specifically for TVR. The curvature of the glass exactly matches the Ford Sierra (amongst many others, I'm sure)... I know this because I used the internal channels from my dad's scrap doors as repair pieces on my Tasmin and when placed end to end, the glass was identically curved.
The actual channel has been likened to that from the Mk 2 Escort (so another Ford connection) and IIRC the Mk 1 Fiesta had the same design of channel.

HTH biggrin

Thanks for that Ian...I take it the triangle part needs to be welded on?...

Aye, welded or brazed, not sure what the original was now but either would do if done neatly.
