front seam strips

Post by Andrew1967 »

I need a pair of front seam strips for my pick up.

Are the Minispares ones a good fit or is it best to pay more than double for 'genuine' ones.

I know that the pattern ones I've had in the past (not Mini Spares ones) have been variable in quality and fit.

Any help appreciated :)

Hi

Just used the primed Minispares ones and they were fine...oe ones are slightly better on the rears though
Cheers

Thanks Kevin, thats good to hear :)

I think the rears always were worse than the fronts as they never seemed to be able to roll them evenly. I have plenty of rear ones but no fronts :(

I'll give the MS ones a go then.

Cheers

I agree, fronts are better than rears.Minispares pattern ones are OK.
