Self-Gripping Vinyl Edge Trim with Metal Core
I'm sure SOMEONE out there knows where to get this stuff. It's used
throughout the interior of my Speed Astir, and must be terribly common, since it's the exact same material used to trim the the perimeter of BMW motorcycle windscreens. I even bought a chunk at the local BMW motorcycle dealer to re-trim one section of my instrument panel cover. Unfortunately, they don't carry it in lengths appropriate for re-trimming the entire interior, and my glider could use a bit of a facelift. McMaster-Carr sells something close, but I'd like to find an exact replacement. Thanks, Jim |

A similar company close to you should have. I bought a meter to my astir cs 77, it was cheap! /Johan |

We have one in the area that specializes in ambulance chassis. They have all sorts of trim materials to use on various edges. I got some for a door-seal but I would check there if I needed something like you're asking about. Mike |

Mike- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Johan, Big John, and Mike, Excellent tips. I've hit two upholstery shops so far. One had something similar, but 3 times the dimensions I need. I've found one ambulance supply place online that has something fairly close. Unfortunately I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, and there isn't a lot of manufacturing in the area, so suppliers are scarce. Thanks, Jim |
