1968 door frame felt brushes / runners

Post by jamie »

I want to buy new felt runners for my 1968 window frames.

Pelican lists soft and hard brushes, and I know there was a different configuration for 1967 frames compared to 1969 frames. I can't find any info on what combo to use on a 68 window frame.

Unfortunately my existing runners are too brittle and torn-up to check against.

Anyone know what to do?

You won't get the felt/steel runners any more, the new ones are felt/rubber and much easier to fit. Get them from Eurocarparts, they are just a few ££ each.

Legend. So I don't need $150 of bits from Pelican?

Thanks Nick.

Jamie, can you comment on the window rubber you ordered for you 68? I went to the Euro site and it only lists 69 forward. No SWB <68. I need window parts for my 66 and no one here in US seems to know.

Sorry Mark - I missed your post.

I haven't fitted the rubbers yet, since my frames are currently disassembled. I will report my findings in my build (Back in Beige) thread once they are back together.
