Just booked the SEAC in for a new hood but they cant/wont supply the seals. They are happy to fit new seals if I can get them otherwise the old tatty ones will go on. So the question is where can I ring to get a set without having to specify what is needed?
ie.I'm a lazy bugger and do not want to send samples etc.!
PS. Cheers Tim, tried RT Racing but no reply yet.
PPS. Could you mail me the cost of the stuff I ordered?

Been ringing Peninsula ALL DAY could not get passed the switch-board to ask them! email not replied too either
The chap at RT Racing tells me they stock them but I need to talk to Richard Thorne to sort
Call me old fashioned but thought it works like this:
1) Get price for goods
2) Agree price and delivery
3) Part with cash
4) Get goods
5) Smiles all round and recommend to others!!
Ah well tomorrow's another day

Picked up the SEAC with lovely new hood this afternoon. Excellent job done by BAS ltd in Cwmbran. (said i'd give em a plug if the job was good).
Unfortunately it was raining and water is flooding in cos I AINT GOT NO WINDOW SEALS and i'm not happy!!!
Phone call to you know who - the very nice receptionist couldnt get through to parts so waited for a call back and ......NOTHING!
I give up! I'm going up the pub!

Hmmm - doesn't seem like I'll be using Peninsular for anything!

Digga told me that Bostick (!) is as good as any and the right thing to use. I've still got a bit of loose seal to re-affix and that's what I was told.
