Can anyone tell me the correct name of the metal used to fit the rubber door seals to.
It’s about 12mm wide c section and it’s spot welded around the door apertures. Apparently it’s the same section that’s used for the same purpose on an e-type.
I need a length of it to replace the rusty original corroded item currently on my car.
Just don’t know where to look for it?
Thanks in advance for any help smile

Ok, didn’t think about removing good channel from a breakers car.
That’s an idea I can do smile
I think a nice carbide drill bit will remove the spot welds. Then repair the holes in the body, then a neat tig puddle weld to attach the good channel via the drilled out spot welds back to the body.

I’ll hang fire for a little while in case I do get someone that’s knows where I can possibly new channel from.
My fingers are crossed smile
