Waist line trim

[Hawaiis0]

Hi I'm hunting for replacement waistline trim but most material i see is standard u channel stuff.
However, my 86 MY has a stepped profile.

Does anyone else have this type or ever purchased any?

I don't think that stepped profile is available, but for the really determined it would be possible, but you'd have the tooling costs for a rubber extrusion firm to make the die and do a small run. I think most people just go with the later style which is the one you've found available.

Can you post a piccy of the profile?

Sorry, I have just read your post. I am afraid that the trims were sent straight to the spayers so I didn't see them. If you ring SJ Sportscars and explain what you are looking for then they should be able to help, or alternatively Lotus Bits.

Im not near my car to take a picture at the moment but Ive just replaced some of the trim on my 1983 Excel with the stuff from SJ's (https://www.sjsportscars.com/parts-and- ... 005MTR.htm). Its a very close match to the original with the very slight step in it.

Take care to follow the fitting instructions though, the trim is very stiff until warmed, but I was also warned that leaving a heat gun on it too long could cause a molten puddle on the floor.

Thanks All . 2 votes for SJ so I'll use theirs.
