Anyone know where I can gat a rear screen seal for a 1963 Starfire???

Back window seal I assume?

aristellier

Yes that's right, front screen has already been done and I've done all the side glass. It's just the rear left to do which is split and leaking!

I found this at Steele Rubber Products https://secure.steelerubber.com/search_frameset.php It even has an installation .pdf file you can refer to.

Also look at USA Parts Supply (page 85)

S20.185BB 63-64 All Style 3819, 3829.............................. 143.20

Hope this helps

Thanks, I was looking at the wrong model code. Doh!!!

Just that it was the first time I heard it referred to as a screen seal. First thing I thought of with a screen seal was the hood lacing in front of the cowl screen. Kind of like knowing the difference between boot being a trunk deck, or a rubber seal I guess. Terminology in automotives is sooooo confusing at times.

Especially between the UK and the US!
Over here a screen is the mesh thing that goes over a window to keep the bugs out!
bonnet = hood
boot = trunk
etc..

I had a sheet somewhere that had a huge list of those translations - was very interesting...

You have to know the Britt's don't speak American you know.

Great observation Rob! I should have looked under his avatar and I would have seen that. Boot = trunk?? No way...

Boot = what you do to a guest (usually in laws) who overstays their welcome ....
Boot = what they put steel toes in
Bonnet = what some women wear on their noggin
Bonnet = the compartment of a car covering the engine. Could be front or rear..think Rolls Royce or Porsche 911
tire = round rubber/steel thingy that you put on yer wheel before you put it on the car
tyre = same thing - but can be made of rubber or steel. Like Light rail vehicles use a steel tyre.
Bodyman = a 'qualified and certified auto frame and component restoration specialist'
Panel Beater = Bodyman
highway = 'the go fast road'
carriage way = the same thing?
Police = The law, the fuzz, the cops, boys in blue, the "Yes sir, officer" guy etc
Bobby = Police, not someones name
mudder = a person who applies joint compound to sheet rock joints.
mudder = the lady who borned you.


I'd love to see that list.....we could have some fun with it. Due apologies to aristellier for jacking the thread.

Allan R

Yeah, but apparently we don't speak Brit very well either

aristellier

Yeah yeah yeah!!! that was me trying to speak American, I copied it from an American listing.
