Wheel arch extension rubber seal

[Braddy40]

I recently bought a wheel arch extension kit that I was going to attempt to fit to my PFL legnum. I bought them from a nice man on ebay breaking a pyrenees black legnum that claimed they were in excellent condition and fortunately were a colour match with my car. Unfortunately they were not in excellent condition and are going to require a lot of sanding, filling and respraying.
On top of this one of the rear arches has the rubber seal missing which attaches to the top to prevent water getting in and gives a flush finish. The seller surprisingly is not replying to my messages.:sigh:
I was hoping that someone out there might have one of these rubber seals available as it would really help me out and allow me to make a start on saving these arches. Thanks

Some people have had success buying a rubber profile from Germany. There is a thread somewhere involving Kryton which you might find with a search. I'm not at a computer otherwise I would search for you.

[crazydriver81]

Alternatively give eyeballprawn a PM - he might have a brand new set available. He is selling OE Mitsi parts over in AUS and as far as I am aware, the rubber seals are no longer available new from official dealerships.

[galantnight]

Just ordered a set of four of these seal's, can take up to 60 days to get here hopefully will be here a lot sooner.
Not cheap to replace but mine have split in places.
Have to get silver ones for mine shame they are not white but that's the way Mitsubishi done it.

[Nick Mann]

Aren't there 6? With the little bits on the front bumper? And what did you buy? Mine are looking really bad now.

[galantnight]

Hi Nick,
Yes there are six but you have to buy four and cut the bit for the bumper.
They are 1,235 mm long so long enough for the rearer ones in one piece, and the front ones are 945 mm plus the bumper bit if I remember right and are a special order item the parts guy said that this is the first time he has ordered them but costing £38 +vat they are not cheap .

[Nick Mann]

A mitsubishi original? Have you got the part numbers?

[Braddy40]

I ended up fitting the set without any seals and worked great. I did have to make slight adjustments anyway , especially with the smaller sections as I was fitting them to a PFL. Was expecting a slight gap but have a flush finish. Fitted with strong tape and possibly some tiger seal if I remember rightly as the PFL didnt have the clip holes and I couldnt face drilling into the arches. Still holding strong and looking good ....nearly 3 years later ! Blimey where did that time go.

[galantnight]

Yes Nick Mitsubishi originals, will ask for part numbers and add to post.

[galantnight]

Just got a call from Mitsubishi my seals are in, got there late Saturday he was surprised as me told 60 days to wait.
Result :)

I think this thread will need photographic evidence of these hen's teeth! /Camera

[Davezj]

Would be interesting to see the Mitsi seal strip to see how it differs from the seal strip I have. Not Mitsi part.
Picture of end profile and some of a length laid out would be good.

Hi Dave,
Will post photos as soon as I can.

[Confused]

I know of some rubber manufacturers I use for the Ford Anglia Owners Club, I could check with some of them if they have anything similar, or if not get a potential price for getting some, of they're in that much demand and unavailable!

[Davezj]

I am only asking so I can check the profile and general look of the prodcuct I have bought compared to the original.
This is Just out of interest.
I think it is only nick Mann that has shown interest in actually buying some.

[Davezj]

thanks for th pics, it is a little different to my stuff.

i can't really tell from the pic as it is a bit fuzzy, but is there tape on the top and bottom of the sealling stip.
what orientation does it go in with respect to the arch extentions?

Sorry about the pic Dave bit out of focus,will take some more and yes tape on both sides.

what orientation does it go in with respect to the arch extensions? Sorry Dave what are you asking, don't want answer and state the obvious ?

But the top side by my finger goes to the arch and the bottom side by my thumb goes against the body.

Anything else let me know :)

[Davezj]

Yes I see what you are saying about the orientation.
Not having either the seal strip or the arch extension in front of me, it is difficult to see what goes where, but now you have said it, it is obvious how it fits together.

Hi Nick, these are the part numbers i got. :)

Two of each?

[galantnight]

Two of each?

Two of each left and right sides, can't see it make a difference which side but will fit them as marked.

[Nick Mann]

Thank you John! Top info.

[galantnight]

Just thought i add some photos of the seals to this thread.

Storming job. Do they look more Satellite Silver than Hamilton Silver?

I would say Satellite Silver, the Hamilton is brighter if that is the word to use, but they do sparkle in the sun which looks good :)

Some info from ASA regarding these77902, and a machine translation:

Unification of over fender pad supply.

Please use under the following conditions: conditions of use. This product is supplied with long supply. Please cut it to the length of the actual product when using. (Display normal length in CAPS specific information column), hole on the side of this product for positioning for over fender is set for hole for posting. There is always a hole when cutting to the proper length. Please cut the side with the length matching from the side. It can not be installed if you cut the side that is too big for a mistake.

In my case (FL Legnum) it states L=940 / L=1245 silver (M)

Some info from ASA regarding these

Great information there - any idea how to work out which one would go with A71 Hamilton Silver as there are two Silvers listed - Silver (M) and Silver?

[Yetello]

Use your VIN in ASA and it should show the correct ones for your car.

Most colours are out of production but you can order the standard Black ones. If these are out of production as well some other Mitsubishi's are using them as well in different Length. e.g. Montero.

[Davezj]

I have some of these flare seals somewhere in my store of parts,i have white, silver, and black.
let me know if you want me to dig them out and post up some picture if you can get them elsewhere.
i can put them up against my car as it is silver and you can see the colour differences.
at the moment i am not sure where they are so i will have to go digging in the back bedroom which is no small task.

[SinkreZ]

if you find black ones, how much you would want for them?

[Davezj]

i am not sure at the moment i bought these seals a while back with the intention of fitting the fender flairs i have, to my car to ensure the fitment is perfect, then offer the seals as option to people that want them.
i am not sure where they are but i know i have them somewhere.
i will have look and see if i can locate them.
i know they are with the silver wheel rim protectors i have but does not really help as don't know where they are either. lol.

[Judder]

Hi Dave - yes I would definitely be up for getting some flare trim in Silver if you have some as the trim I have on the second hand ones I bought is pretty weathered...

[Judder]

Use your VIN in ASA and it should show the correct ones for your car.

Probably a really obvious question but is there an online version of the ASA?

I didn't know what it was so had to look it up - "Mitsubishi Asa is an electronic catalog, which contains a full set of descriptions of performance parts and accessories for cars Mitsubishi, a lot pictures and circuits in which an experienced user will be able to resolve all resulting problems and issues."

[Yetello]

There are some online shops that uses ASA like drawings with the correct OEM partnumbers. Look at sites like Amayama and partsouq.

[Judder]

Great - thanks - so looking at the mitsubishi.epc-data.com diagram, there are actually 3 manufacturer part numbers that are for the 3 parts of the wheel arch (*with LH and RH sides to make a total of 6)

81096

I guess from the original parts ordered, the Mitsubishi Dealer just ordered two of the 69562 part (part number Pad Fndr LH MR607734 and Pad Fnd RH MR607741 in the Silver M colour) and as that is longer than the combined lengths of the other two it could be cut to size

Looking at the arches I have here with original pads on them, the only difference I can see is that each separate part has a tiny alignment pin near the top of where the trim fits - I guess to help with fitting

Now I just need to work out if I need 'Silver' or 'Silver(M)' to match my JDM Hamilton Silver and what the differences is in the year dated model numbers (guessing they are the same, just with updated order numbers so I should order the latest but would be good to know!)

Thanks

[galantnight]

Hi Alex,
Did you look at post 18 ? These are the ones I got and fitted fine but can you say how much you are paying as I put £38 + vat but think I was being a lazy and it should have been £138 + vat .
Thanks John

[Davezj]

I have found the rubbers I have and I remembered what I did when bought them.
I look at the mitsi parts and thought I am not paying that much for a bit of sealing strips.
So I sourced after market seals and bought some in white, black, and gray.
But I can't remember what they cost.
The only trouble is I have not used them yet.
I have some after market fender flairs to try the on but you know what it is like with after market stuff you have to test it out before you can confirm they are good to go.
I think you need 2 packs to cover both sides of the car.
I will have to give it a go at some point.

Hi John

The prices on amayama.com are

69562 (MR622897) = 26.08 USD
61809 (MR622885) = 18.01 USD
62051 (MR622891) = 5.21 USD

so total without shipping and tax would be:

26.08 * 2 + 18.01 * 2 + 5.21 * 2 = 52.16 + 36.02 + 10.42 = 97.6 USD

So definitely closer to your £138 price

Hi Dave

Can you share (privately or publicly) where you sourced your trim from as I bought a couple of the panels back with me to the UK and can compare it pretty well against the original stuff, and I'm more than happy to try it out to give it a go?

Thanks

Hi Dave,
If you get them for that you be getting a good deal my son seams to remember me saying that they cost more like £167 so where I got £38 from I don’t know :)

[Amonlym]

I just ordered some, was about 80 usd/side + shipping + tax. also im pretty sure only the long pieces that you cut to length are available any more. there is an ASA page discussing standardisation of the part(s)

Thanks!

[Amonlym]

I ordered through Megazip due to a bundled order with some mates, although there are other options available.

Cool Jake - thanks and yes I've been reading the posts backwards and forwards

As I don't have access to ASA to look-up my car on it's VIN, I'm going to guess that Silver(M) stands for Silver Metallic, which as my car is Hamilton Silver Metallic (M) sounds like the one I should order
