Any ideas where I'd find more of this trim?

Post by ash_on_mtb »

Anyone got any thoughts on where I might find more of this trim? Its off the bottom of my boat motor cowl, and its getting pretty ratty. ITs kinda plastic feeling, but it holds its shape around the corners of the cowl, which is handy. Camel brown isn't so handy, but I'll try most things...

I was thinking clark rubber, but they seem to sell eveything on a reel, and this stuff wouldn't come on a reel. Its bloody hard wearing stuff, so I'd like to replace it with something similar..

thanks in advance

The stuff is called Pinch Weld.

The automotive stuff comes in various colours, but it has a steel cage inside. The Marine stuff on the other hand typically only comes in black or white, but it has an aluminium cage inside. Comes in a couple of different sizes.

It does come on a real, yours has just aged and gone stiff hence why you can't bend it to much.

Motor Trimmer or the like will get you some.

One of the cheaper places around is Purple Pig in Bayswater or out west somewhere.
