Hi All,
Does anyone know where I can get the rubber that sits between the fiberglass wheel arch flares and the body. A part number would help as well.

I did have a look on www.clarkrubber.com.au/ but couldn't see the wheel arch flare moulding. It's not uncommon though, but you may be better off with a panelbeater supplier than a rubber shop.

I'd still say talk to a panelbeater but what you're looking for is probably the same as this: www.vollks.com.au/store/VW-Beetle-High-q...-Fender-Beading.html

Very recent topic discussed door seals. I know OVESCO have it because I had a bit torn across the sill and theirs matches close enough to perfectly-and they have an online catalogue. showing dimensions

Hi Tony, Spoke to Ovesco and they didnt have a clue about an OKA.
Thought they maybe able to help with both Windscreen rubber and door seals.

Yes Ovesco looks like the go. The wheel arch flare moulding is down the bottom of this page - they call it mudguard piping.

No normal supplier will have a clue about OKA-specific parts.

Only advantage is that at least for some of the stuff, they provide delailed measurements for the sections

As stated UES carry most rubber seal etc a sample of each with them is the easiest way and there is a UES warehouse in Bennison rd Winneli Darwin which is a bit closer to you than Malaga WA

Cando, the mudguard piping goes between the fibreglass mudguard and the metal body, I suspect mostly for aesthetics but probably also to stop the odd squeak. Front, and rear if applicable. It's the black line evident around the rear one shown below.
