Location: Up in the lakes | I tried a few years ago to get / salvage/ straighten rub strips. Turned out okay but unless you can get a full set new I skype bother. If im doing it again il go the route tom went with his vinyl rub strips. Look good and saves a bit of weight. |

Location: New Milton, Hampshire | I've been thinking about finding a company to make some replicas
Probably without the metal lining
Need to pop round to a few rapid prototyping
If someone had CAD files it would be much easier but I'm guessing they never leaked out from Rover. |

| Didn't Talon have sets minus one bit advertised some months back? I asked about them but got no reply. May be worth getting in touch |

Location: New Milton, Hampshire | I'm pretty sure it's possible to make up a full set by using several European dealers but you;'re looking at £30/40 a piece |

| If anyone wants to provide a set i can make the CAD models no problem,
I can get things rapid prototyped or tooled in china aswell but the quantity would justify the expense i would think. |

Location: New Milton, Hampshire | Would you need a clean, striaght set or could you virtually flatten out some bumpy ones? |

| Not sure who the reply is to,
for CAD,
if they are flat and i have the section drawn correctly then i can simply extrude the length (If they are supposed to be flat/straight) i can then add the chamfers etc.

Sorry, mine are already ruined and taking them off will ruin them further but I'm more than happy to take them off and sent them to you if you can make up good ones.
I know scanners are becoming more common and obviously if you scanned mine the new ones would be just as bad,
I have no problem with them being solid plastic either

I'm sure mine would be just as bad even with the aluminium out, plus have no problem paying for a new set for after a respray anyway

l have done this trick with a twisted up set which i have painted satin black and gave them a new red pin stripe and they have come out very good, also have a few new rub strips and side by side against my recon'd set you would struggle to see which is old and new |
