@RUSH55

Do you have details on the missing lower tailgate tub side gasket ? I want to forward to them to see if they can make them as well.

 

[RockDoc]

In for:

1 - RK358

I'm in Canada, but will get shipped to a US address.

Passed this on to a few other Canadian 55 owners I know, but so far no show of interest.

No details man, I wish.
SOR has the upper for $275, but not the lower. Not sure if RSA actually has these pieces?

That is the one Major Piece missing from these kits. The upper and lower would be the ultimate completion of an already well put together kit.

Looking through the kit options they offer color bulb door seals in Red or Blue besides black.
Is there a designation as in RK356 that confirms all black or is it just standard unless you specify one of the non black options?
I'd hate to get it stateside and be stuck with a non-stock color for door seal bulb.

Yea....those super specific tailgate pieces are about the only reason you would start, run and advertise a 'FJ55' specific weather-strip business.

That being said...can I order parts and pieces?
I want the passenger door fixed glass rubber, RQS355, qty 2; and windshield rubber, WSF356, qty1

@POTATO LAUNCHER @RUSH55

I would like to ask them if they can create those two gaskets and this might take giving them a sample...

Is the bottom one just a simple gasket? Does anyone have one that they can take a picture of?

 

[POTATO LAUNCHER]

The early tailgate seal is a one piece. Includes both sides and the outer glass wiper belt. I think Slocruiser has one on his site. Item #38 on the SOR schematic.

Keep in mind that they would most likely be ambulance doors in Australia.

I chose the 'rounded front doors with no front vent window and lift up tailgate' option...which is what I have.

Ill recheck

Which is the RK 356R

 

[RUSH55]

BTW, these kits don’t come with these pieces either.

So in the weatherstrip guide, the guy that posted the original thread had generic pieces from JC Whitney as a substitute. Unfortunately, those numbers were lost in the sands of time. It’s probable that someone makes something that would work, it’s just a matter of finding it…

The pieces on either side of the tailgate opening looks like what @Gordobe sourced later in the thread.

The piece along the bottom is going to be pretty specific.

And these pieces along the sides of the tailgate I believe are glued in place

 

[onemanarmy]

yes, that is the entire kit.

I only need a few pieces

Sorry, thought you were referring to the kit.
Individual pieces have the pn#’s listed here

Can someone interpret what a “Bailey Channel Rear Mitred” is?
