I have lost the rubber door finisher, the piece at the lock end of the door, it looks a bit like an ear!

Having a nightmare trying to find one as they are unique to the Sagaris, any ideas anyone?

Cheers

As rare as hen's teeth.... I got a couple of spares for my Tuscan and Chimaera couple of years ago from RACETECH (IIRC) . TVR made themselves and the moulds and injection machine went to somewhere in the South West when the TVR closed, but the guy then retired , so I think they are now lost... Good luck in your search

Have you had a look here: http://www.racinggreentvr.com/TVR/Parts/Sagaris/j%... RG are showing door capping for Sagaris but no pic so might be worth speaking to them?

Yeah, spoken to RG and all the others! Seems like they are unobtainable now frown

First time I have come a blank for a part with all the Tvrs I have owned, bummer frown

Might have produce a small batch run with some company. Bit expensive though as they need to develop the moulds.

Unless alternative substitute can be found.

What about casting your own using Devcon Flexane? - you would need a sample of course to make a mould.

Yep, tried all the breakers, trouble is I dont think Sags get as far as the breakers.

Dean, as mine is just about away for the winter, you could use my door capping as a template, and make some up, sell them on?

Thanks for the offer Don, I might just take you up on it.

Really annoying this! I have an Uncle that makes injection moulds, so I will go and have a chat with him next week, setting up costs would be hideous I imagine!

If you got the costs made up, I'm sure if you spoke to the major TVR parts brands (you know the usual suspects that don't like each other!), then there could be a market - enough to make it economical and break-even at least?

Dean, which side?

And are you sure they are unique to the Sag? Not the same as Tamora/T350???

Drivers side Ant, the T350/Tamora ones are similar but not the same.

Looks the same as my Tuscan Convertible/Mk2 passenger door capping. I would say poor quality because the white bit on the first photo would be visible.

These are the kind of bits we're all going to need as they will perish being of questionable quality. Gorup buy needed.
