rvwp Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Hi Guys, Advise required as what is the seal arrangement between windscreen and door glass on a TR4A. Unlike the TR5/6 there is a 'U' channel spot welded to the frame, that takes a seal in the same manor as the hood seal on the head frame. However I cannot see any seals illustrated in the Moss catalogue. Also I assume there is a similar furfex seal to the door seal, possible without the rubber part, that also pushes over the edge flange on the windscreen.

RogerH Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Hi Rich, on the 4/4A it is a two piece seal. Furflex on the raised flange all around the door and a rubber seal that fits into the 'U' channel. The furflex is not commonly available. The rubber seal is available but many varieties. The seal I have has a soft body with a harder foot - this is good as it fits into the 'U' channel nicely. The variety with the soft foot is a swine to fit. TRF in the US do the hard foot variety. Woolies do a number of 'fiurflex' type things. Something must work. Moss seals Seals Roger Edited June 8, 2020 by RogerH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moss seals Seals Roger I think you mean the one with the hard foot is hard to fit and the softer foot variety which is the new Moss one is a lot easier to fit and works well. Stuart.

rvwp Posted June 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Thanks Stuart, but I can't seem to find any reference to the seal you refer to in my TR4/4A catalogue? have you got a Moss part number please. Thanks Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Hi Stuart, I found that although the hard foot seal was harder to put in - it would stay put. The soft foot seal was easier to put in but also easier to drop out. I know I must be doing it wrong but that is what I found. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roger Interesting, It could be the difference between original and repro channel as well as I think they are fractionally different. Also the hard foot offering from a while ago the foot used to part company with the rest very easily. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Hi Stuart, indeed - the repro channel is probably the cause. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roger Interestingly the channel on the TR is the same as used round the doors on Series 1 XJ6.But their door seals are tubes on a foot. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rvwp Posted June 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Hi Guys, Nice informative chatter on the problem of fitting the seal, hard or soft foot, but what about a supplier/part number? No sign in any of the usual catalogues. Much appreciated if any body can supply this imformation. Thanks Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Hi Rich, this is the Moss offering #150 and 151 https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/shop-by-model/triumph/tr2-4a/body-chassis/doors-fittings/doors-fittings-tr4-4a-1961-67.html Have a look at 'The Roadster Factory' in the US.
