    Having recently spent squillions of hard earned loot on various parts from the bay, dealers and auto parts stores, I thought it would be a good idea to start a feedback thread.

    Recently I reported that I bought 1/4 window rubbers for my A100. Well, these were nothing like my truck, so I was not happy.
    I then found that the 1/4 window vertical seal strips were also wrong. Luckily the 3rd item I bought from Steele wasa generic door edge (which i could have bought locally for half the price) actually fitted correctly - with a bit of knowledge and a pot of glue Rolling Eyes

    I also purchased door handle gaskets for eBay - nothing like my door handles......but they were nice all the same bounce

    Happily I can report that the following items are excellent, and very well priced;

    reverse lamp lens set c/w gaskets - $30 from Dave - awesome
    stop lamp lens - eBay $12 - awesome
    stop lamp & front park lamp gasket sets eBay - perfect and great price
    brake drums - Summit - great
    original drag link (expensive) but very nice
    park lamp lens.....a bit of a chase, but NOS lens for under $50 the pair - excellent
    headlamp surrounds - have a total of 5 now....3 are toast pirat

    Please feel free to report your findings here - I'm sure everyone can benefit.
    Thanks, Roger

    When I google this name, I come up with numerous companies with "restoration parts" in the name. What is the correct company that is being discussed?

    Not sure if this is what your looking for or not, this place sells the doghouse seal for the G vans, but probably has what you are looking for too.
