#1 Door handles' gaskets

Post by paydase » Thu May 20, 2021 12:45 pm

Hi,
After a new paint, I am looking for new gaskets for the door handles. (also looking for the wipers' and jet nozzles' attachments to the body):

SNGB does not supply them.
Any suggestion?

The handles didn’t originally have gaskets. However they were available on eBay for a while.
I have a set in readiness for my forthcoming repaint.

This is the seller

https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/leylandlabels

Doesn’t appear to have any at the moment but maybe worth enquiries
Series 1 FHC purchased 50 years ago. Courted my wife in it.
Series 1 2+2 when the kids were small now sold.
Series 1.5 OTS in opalescent maroon, Californian car. My retirement present.

I think I have seen this mentioned before and no gaskets were fitted from the factory. It was suggested just use a small amount of silicone sealer.

Thank you Bryan.
Good to know.
If so, could be the way out, much easier!

Got an answer from him, he sells the gaskets and I ordered one set (even if maybe there were no gaskets originally on Series1, that set may be helpful to preserve the paint and improve the assembly):

For those interested:

The gaskets are computer-cut to exact shape and the price (15 GBP) looks to me very reasonable.

Much cheaper anyway than what I also found at SCparts for double the price (plus expensive shipping costs):

Also taking into account the comments recently found on Scparts on the forum, that was for me a no-brainer...
