Door Seals
I have just purchased a 1950 F1. A simple question... should the doors have a rubber seal all the way round each door ?. My truck has nothing on the front edge. The passenger door rattles badly, I am thinking because it has no rubber seal ?. If this is the case, I can probably purchase some here in the UK. What I really need is a short piece of seal of the correct pattern . A big ask I know, but does anybody have a small piece they could possibly post to me ?. Then I could get it matched and do a proper job and reseal both my doors. Apart from the doors, the truck is pretty much rattle free. Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

If you are going to redo both doors, why reinvent the wheel? Buy the proper set from Mid-Fifty, Dennis Carpenter or Steele rubber, and you can be assured they will fit

Thank you for your reply. I was thinking that the seal would be one length of the same profile rubber right around each door. I can see from the links you attached (many thanks) that is not the case. I will order the 2 door kit from one of the suppliers.
