Hi all

Been to look at a tubby today which desperately needs it's T bar seals replaced. Anyone have any idea how much these are nowadays and where would be the best supplier?

Regards
Andy

For sure only go to Toyota, not sure if anywhere else would do them anyway? Can't remember how much but try a search, it's been covered before... or phone them in the morning...

Dont forget to try the sealant and clingfilm repair first. Sorted my seals out.

Just to add, there are other things you can try first like buying eccentric rod guides which pull the tbars down a little further to the rubber, but if I were you I'd get the seller to take the cost of new rubbers off the purchase price, and do it properly [thumleft]

Maybe this was your plan anyway...

Also, I think you should be paying around £160 for both sides, according to a previous thread.

Got mine from Dallas Toyota also. It was 3/4 mths ago before the rate fell but I got both sides shipped for less than I could find one side in the UK.
I'd say its worth getting the eccentric guides also... they're quite cheap (less than £15 all in I think but I did get mine some time back) and allow finer adjustment for window fit even with new seals.

Just to update people..

The seals came last week. The import duty was £16.22 and then ParcelForce graciously put another £8 'handling' fee... [Shame on you]

So, to sum up...

At a poor conversion rate of £1=$1.3446 means it cost £231 + tax etc. = £255.22

That was for...

Weatherstrips, left & right
Inner Driveshaft Gaiter, with grease, gasket, clips, circlip and cage
Exhaust Manifold Gaskets, both sides
Manifold Studs, 5 off
Manifold Bolts, 5 off

Not too bad I thought. If I'd waited until this week I would've save £30 more as the conversion rate is better (according to XE.com ($1.490 to the £)).

Now for some lighter weather to get them bits on.... ironic really, I want to stop a drip - and being stopped by wet weather. [Rolling Eyes]

I seem to remember my shipping was $60 for a foot-an-a-half square box with all my bits in. That was included in the above £310. [thumleft]
