I've got a 1957 Zodiac (restauration object) and an almost MOT'd 1960 Zephyr. After 50 years of sun the rubber strip for the front and rear windows have deteriorated and I'm to change them, which isn't that easy as these big strips have to come away. That is made using a drill as they are riveted AND screwed into position. -- Last edit: 2022-01-12 11:41:29
