Title: Door rubber vf56 square top
Post by: USSEnterprise on May 24, 2006, 12:28:51 pm
Anyone know where I can get the main door rubber for a VF-56 square top? SodaJerks doesn't seem to have it

If you mean the door seal then Sodajerkworks and funtronics will both have it as raw stock.  You need to cut and glue it into shape.  If I remember it's about 20 cents a foot.

Bryan is correct.  You can order on line from the Soda Jerk Works or over the phone from Funtronics.  However, the price is about $1.25/foot.

I just got some from Funtronics... I think for my VF56 it was about 12 feet? Steve knew how much I needed...

R1 is the correct #. Just cut it at 45 degree angles and glue the corners together. I insert a 6" square of sheet metal into the corner prior to adhesion for alignment proposes.

There's a thread that I started around Oct or November last year with a bunch of tips on how to cut and glue the seal.  The square was a huge help.
