harrytr5 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Does any one know where I can get this metal channel for my surrey top.Moss only sell it in small length sections (part no 750163) and I want it in say 30" x 2. I could buy four lengths and join it but would rather not. The cantrail channel holds the rubber seal (part no 650312) which when the side window glass is fully up it seals the top of the glass or should do!. I have tried the internet with no success. Can you help?. Regards Harry TR5 Nutter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Hi Harry, have you spoken to Moss, in particular Ed who usually sits at the back of the office. I'm sure I have had longer lengths in the past. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fremont Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Hi Harry, Having done (5) of these lids over the years I always got what I needed from TRF. The channel is the same as TR4s use around the doors as the seal is the same stuff as the lids use. The steel lids' channel was intact on the (2) I've got, spot welded in situ. The alloy lids are pop-riveted into place as are the vertical channels on the backlight frame. Cheers. Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Talk to David Manners Jaguar as the channel is used for Series one XJ6 door rubbers so long lengths are available. Its what I used to replace the door channels on TR4/4a`s Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

harrytr5 Posted September 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Just been to Moss and picked up the very part it is 600mm in length (not 500mm as described on the phone) so I am now happy.The length is correct for the surrey lid. Hope this will help future restorers. Regards Harry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
