strip!

[stable]

Hello,

Hope everyone made it through the festivities in one piece.

Work has started today on the highwayman.

On the sides I wanted to inject a little something, along the lines of the Jennings. A tapered strip of colour edged in metal strip. I remember (or dreamt) that you could/can get some aluminium type strip which can bend - to create the curve. Want to match the window frame profile in appearance really but arched.

Did I imagine it, has anyone any leads?

There's this

But you could really do with the type with the recess for a bead so you can hide the screw heads.

Something like this, only available in 2m lengths on this site but might be worth a call to see if they will do a special.

I'm sure the original Jennings type moulding is still out there some where I just haven't found it yet.

wow well done!

I need some of the insert for charlies window surrounds so that's a great lead.

There are various colours available for the insert, try the various car trimmers out there, I'm pretty sure Martin can get hold of it too.

Here's the insert. http://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/shopping.asp?intDepartmentId=8

I suppose it would be reasonable to ask them if they knew where you could get the aluminium section it goes in.

Nice one Colin That's the one about half way down the page - Screw Cover Strip.

This is the best I can do for the aluminium extrusion.http://www.olearymotorhomes.co.uk/aluminium-extrusions--end-caps-10-c.asp

I've been looking to replace some of the strips on my Jennings, but can't find the exact moulding.
