    Wheel arch extension rubber seal

    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.
    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.

    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.
    the one and only...Pearl White Legnum 25 ST-R...registered in Germany - now featuring a 6A13TT engine (unless you know otherwise)

    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.

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

    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 .

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
