Subject: [Rovernet ] Replacing P5 Door Seals
Message-ID: <13B6469F79894E0D8A3183E2F1F1DB9D@xpuser>
Hi "Out There". While this is a question specific to my P5, the answer could apply to all cars. What I need to know is what is the best way to replace door seal rubber. When I bought the P5, it came with replacement seals and now it's time to get the butt in gear and fit them - the "how to" though, I don't know.
FYI: I've also posted this request on the RoverNet Forum at www.forum.roverclub.ca.
Thanks. Walter Reynolds.

3M makes a weatherstrip adhesive. It sticks pretty well, so be sure your weatherstrips are in the proper place.

Hi Walter,
When I did my P5 seals, I found the most important thing (other
than to make sure right seals are going in the right places!) is to
make sure the mateing surfaces are clean. Once I scraped the old seals
off (mine old ones were hard as a rock in some places), I used laquer
thinner to clean the metal surface. If you don't the glue won't stick
very well!
Where are you located?

Steve and all others,
There is a farily nice 1971 Rover 3500S in Portsmouth Virginia at a fair
price of $2500. If you or anyone elas is interested please let me know and
I will go take a look at it and get some good pictures.

Walter,
RTC 3183 is a current Land Rover number, and this filter is available from
various North American sources:
http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/10.cfm (British Pacific, now combined with
Atlantic British, $8.95 ea.)
http://shop.roversnorth.com/Products.aspx?key=search&code=__ALLCATS__&search
val=RTC3183
(Rovers North, $7.99)
This filter also fits the Series II and III 2.6 litre Land Rover, and some
earlier 2 litre Land Rovers, but apparently NOT the most common
2.25 litre Land Rovers.
Crossland 422 is also a good cross reference.

Dermot,
Find a local auto parts house (not one of the chains) that sells auto paint. They will be able to mix up paint.
An auto body can likely tell you who can do that, too.

Hi Dermot,
I believe most car paint suppliers can package custom-mixed colours in
aerosol cans. Here in Canada, at any rate, there's an outfit called
C-max who seem to be affiliated with NAPA dealers, who can look up a
colour, mix it, and put it up in aerosols. I had them do it for a
Toyota grey headliner colour (in vinyl paint) for the sun visors in my
3500S, just matched the headliner material.
Are the TC front discs the same as the 3500's? I heard Quinton Hazell
had discontinued them. I bought two of the last three my friendly
British car parts shop here had left in stock a couple of years ago.
They might still have the one. (NEMAC, 905-898-5188).
Cheers,
-- Bill D.

Go to your friendly auto paint supply store with the gas flap removed from
your car(s) and have them match the color for you in an aerosol can. Forget
about finding anything NOS any longer - its now way too long for that. It's
gonna be expensive but that about all you can do any longer.

You might be surprised if you can get the right paint code. I used a code for BLMC Teal Blue and was pleasantly surprised to find it matched quite nicely!
Original Rover codes will likely be a complete loss, but if you can find a cross reference online, you might be in luck.

Hi Dermot,
Wish I'd known sooner. I had half a can of this exast paint until November
that was mixed locally by ProFinishesPlus (formerly Mattos -- a chain which
changed hands in this area about five years ago). A single quart with
hardener and reducer ran me about $55 (the acrylic enamel paint itself was
about half that amount). They also sell an aerosol spray unit and bottle
that may be used with mixed paint (for about $5). I used this method to
paint my own Persian Aqua car's roof which, like that on most SD1's, had
worn/flaked off. It turned out very well, as far as I was concerned. The
color matched perfectly and, yes, I sold the car soon after and included
the can of touch-up paint. The new owner was planning to paint the whole
thing someday soon, though, and probably wouldn't have objected if I'd kept
it for you.
As you can see on the decal under the hood/bonnet of your car the paint
code is BLVC241 -- Persian Aqua Metallic -- which corresponds to DuPont
code H7849 (we found this in some of their old hard copy books, didn't seem
to be online). I'd verify this information if I were you, since the can
itself is gone and I'm going from my notes. Otherwise, yes, you can take
the fuel flap or some other unfaded example of the original paint and
they'll use something like a spectroscope (actually, a spectrophotometer)
to match it, too. However, going by the paintl code seemed to make the
most sense in this case. [If you do a Google search for the DuPont code,
you'll find an interesting Canadian site for Smiths speedometer cables that
also lists all these paint codes -- I just found that myself, lots of info.
on the web now. And, as you probably know, the TR8 used the same color so
their owners have an interest in maintaining availability.]
I still have a quart of Turmeric Yellow, along with an SD1 of that same
color. I'll be touching it up a little later today.
Hope this helps,
Robert

I am in western Canada, and most of our Auto Part stores, that have Paint
departments to supply the Body repair BUISNESS MIX PAINT. AND FOR QUART/
LITRE of paint they can put that amount into 4 cans, for a cost of about
$100.00 if you go to a Body shop you may find that they will put the mix
into small containers you could use with a small air brush set.
The other possibility I would consider is , to go to a Local motor home
dealer and ask who their Mobile Paint chip and touch up person is, almost
all have a favorite,
If the car is ready for paint. You may find a cheaper option is to have
them drive to your car and spend an hour or so and do it there, they are
amazing , I have found. ( 40 years in the RV industry,).
And I have seen them work on up to a Million dollar coaches and great work,
they are expert at blending. And matching. And no paint code I have ever
seen mixed was ever close because of sun and weather fading,
Worth a try,
At least to price
All the best

Hi Dermot,
Wish I'd known sooner. I had half a can of this exast paint until November
that was mixed locally by ProFinishesPlus (formerly Mattos -- a chain which
changed hands in this area about five years ago). A single quart with
hardener and reducer ran me about $55 (the acrylic enamel paint itself was
about half that amount). They also sell an aerosol spray unit and bottle
that may be used with mixed paint (for about $5). I used this method to
paint my own Persian Aqua car's roof which, like that on most SD1's, had
worn/flaked off. It turned out very well, as far as I was concerned. The
color matched perfectly and, yes, I sold the car soon after and included the
can of touch-up paint. The new owner was planning to paint the whole thing
someday soon, though, and probably wouldn't have objected if I'd kept it for
you.
As you can see on the decal under the hood/bonnet of your car the paint code
is BLVC241 -- Persian Aqua Metallic -- which corresponds to DuPont code
H7849 (we found this in some of their old hard copy books, didn't seem to be
online). I'd verify this information if I were you, since the can itself is
gone and I'm going from my notes. Otherwise, yes, you can take the fuel
flap or some other unfaded example of the original paint and they'll use
something like a spectroscope (actually, a spectrophotometer) to match it,
too. However, going by the paintl code seemed to make the most sense in
this case. [If you do a Google search for the DuPont code, you'll find an
interesting Canadian site for Smiths speedometer cables that also lists all
these paint codes -- I just found that myself, lots of info.
on the web now. And, as you probably know, the TR8 used the same color so
their owners have an interest in maintaining availability.]
I still have a quart of Turmeric Yellow, along with an SD1 of that same
color. I'll be touching it up a little later today.
Hope this helps,
Robert

Hi Dermot
This shouldn't be too hard to find. Here in Australia I was recently able to get touch-up spray for my SD1 (series 2). The paint shop entered the code - HMW - into their computer and it came up with the correct name - Opaline - and recognised it as a metallic colour too. The particular custom can system is called U-POL, from the UK. The colour is spot-on.
I'd be a little wary of taking the fuel gate in for matching. I've had this done before and ended up with a dodgy match.
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Group,
I know there are some companies out there in the US that make up touch up paint in Aerosol cans, but I can't find the info. I need some Persian Aqua Metallic and some Midas Gold for my SD1's and some Almond for my 1971 TC.
.Also looking for one front brake rotor (New or resurfaced) for my TC
Appreciate any leads.
