Hi All
Late-ish last year there was a spate of postings enquiring about
replacement window rubber. I gathered that one or more members were
considering getting together to buy a full roll and then sharing it
out.(this was in the UK)
Did anything come of this plan? I did express interest at the time but
heard nothing further. The rainy season is now upon us and 'Little
Star' is almost as wet inside as out. I will be in the UK (Surrey)
last week of February and would very much like to pick up replacement
rubber and sealing strip while there. I cannot justify buying a full
roll as there is no one else here with a Vega and the weight would use
up too much of the airline allowance - especially as the wife insists
on buying luxuries like new bedsheets etc.
Failing this, is there anyone who would be willing to share the cost
of a full roll with me? I estimate it will take about 10m per boat
(correct me if I am wrong Steve) and Steve tells me the rubber comes
in 50m rolls at a price of £100 - £150 so if I can find 4 or 5 people
in the same situation, even if they don't intend doing the work
straight away, the cost per boat will be reasonable.
Cheers
