Aren't they pressed steel rather than rubber? (or did the ph2 have different ones?)

Just to clarify; Do you mean the one above the bumper, below the wing, rather than the one pressed in to it?

I have been looking at getting some red ones made up, the problem being is that they are so brittle so if they are removed they break easily.

did consider smoothing off and painting but don't think it would look as good.

Right just to let people know I'm getting them made up I've ordered 10m of black rubber trim so I should be okay

I will follow this with interest, as these are long out of stock.

I've considered using a standard auto parts type profile moulding, similar to what it sounds you are doing but have never found anything that I think is close enough to the original.

And me three. I've sent out samples to various places to get a match but never had any luck finding something similar. Even sent off a sample to a moulding place in eastern europe to get a die made and have them made in either PVC or silicon, never heard anything back though!

I'd be interested to know where you got these made and what else they can do - I've collected some side strips together for when I rebuild Timex, but they're Mk2 ones and a different profile.
