If it wasn't for my incessant questions, the Wedge Forum would be dead! biggrin

Which(If any!) is the best rubber seals supplier? Any recommendations?? I probably need all of them!

TIA

They probably all come out of the same container from China so whoever is cheapest, Ebay?

Similar but at a slightly different angle.

I have used Seals Direct and Phoenix Trim. Both supply good quality mouldings and I have managed to get every TVR wedge and for that matter VW Camper van seal from one or the other!!

In the past I used to go to Paul Beck at Vintage Supplies:

They used to sell some really rare old stock trim from the British car makers, certainly everything I ever needed for my wedges they had in stock.

You don't happen to have the codes for the sealsdirect supplied ones do you (assuming 400SE or 450SE)?

Not really. I have ordered a lot of seals from them for various vehicles in the last year or so and I only have email invoices which are not vehicle specific of course. When I ordered, I measured the geometry of the existing seal and looked on their website for a match. Most are directly replaceable. As I recall a few varied by a mm here and there but it made no difference to the fit (TVR tolerances!!)
