    Source for body rubber?

    For the many of you who have done total repaints, or windows-out repaints, and replaced all the rubber on the body (seals, gaskets, window felts, etc) who would you recommend for a great fit and finish without paying dealer prices?

    TIA

    Rubbers... ;)

    I have had good luck getting a few items at a time from EBS...they may carry a full kit as well. Zims also carrys full kits, although I can not vouch for their quality...

    EBS: 1 800 462 3774
    Zims: 1 817 267 4451

    Good luck,

    International Mercantile has been around for 30 or more years. Started with repro. of 356 rubber. Not sure, but I think they may be the source of most of the NLA repro rubber sold by the various Porsche parts suppliers.

    International Mercantile offers most of the rubber for 911. Some of it they repro themself so it's cheaper. Other parts they buy from Porsche and they cost more. They're near San Deigo.

    I've always considered the glass to be half full...that is until I reached middle age and realized that it is actually half empty.
