Rubber bits 'n' stuff

[Parisien]

No doubt this site is known to the Lancia owners on the forum, just toting up the list for the B12, comes out at the princely sum of 1300 euros incl VAT plus delivery, plus am sure there are multiple numbers required of a few seals/rubbers.

Wonder if much cheaper sourced from within UK or USA?

Obviously VAT free for USA customers but other taxes duty apply?

Although there are a few places selling seals, I think there is only one who makes them. I doubt you will find them cheaper, it's a similar situation for Fulvias. There maybe a few seals that are standard profiles that you can get from somewhere like www.sealsdirect.co.uk , but not many.


Generally I've not found much difference in prices around the world, with the exception of original parts from Italy where sometimes I think they are trying to solve the country's deficit with one transaction :)

You're not far wrong Neil, Italian prices always seem marked up and extra 20/30 etc percent. Still early days yet in seeing how quickly my allocated pot runs dry!

I have dealt with both those companies and they are good and make the stuff. Anyone in the UK is I am pretty sure buying from them, maybe with a bulk discount and then marking the price back up.

Paul,
I think I'm correct in saying that this is the Manufacturer who supplies everyone else!
Aurelia prices seem to be on par with Fulvia, it's also very interesting that in Fulvia it lists rubbers corners that go under the battery, can't say I've ever heard of them, although I do have a rubber mat under my battery, they also do the Battery Cover which very Few Fulvia seem to be fitted with, just a word of warning though, the battery hold down bracket has slots in it to accomodate the lugs on the underside that hold the cover in place, if anyone thinks about fitting a cover, good thing is it that it hides modern batteries quite well.

I think they are being made by Cicognani, so one would think they are the cheapest source. Sometimes, Matt Jones at Re-Originals in Texas has these materials a bit cheaper.

However, these remakes are only made by one source. They are good, but not great. Claim to be made from the original molds, but perhaps the molds are a bit tired. The rubber is a bit thicker than original, and this can make fitting sometimes a challenge. I'd give my eye teeth for a set of original worn old rubber mats, but have made do with these. Don't forget, the shipping costs are not minor either - these mats are heavy.

A bit off the subject, but I am busy rebuilding the lights on the Beta Coupe and would like to know if there are rubber seals for the rear clusters available....
