The 'E' Type Forum

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

Doesn’t appear to have any at the moment but maybe worth enquiries

Thank you Tim.
Sent a message to him, will see.

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!

No series ones had doorhandle gaskets fitted from new

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...
