I'm after a supplier for the rubber insert on my A Series. I have tried a sample of PVC1022 as supplied by Wilks and Sealsdirect but it's too big on the internal part of the insert. Anyone have any other suppliers or a boat length sitting in their garage?
cheers

Re: Albatross Fender insert
From Seals Direct I used CS-1244 - it's a little flat so I put a round solid neoprene cord behind to bulk it out. Worked quite well.
Re: Albatross Fender insert
"benh" had this re-manufactured. I need some too and have recently been in contact if anyone is interested.
I hope my new Alpine floats better than my old one!

I was given the name of this company, I am looking for Shakespeare windscreen rubber:-

Re: Albatross Fender insert
Hi Tatraman, have you got details of the insert. Is BenH getting it remade or has he now got surplus stock?

I've sent an e-mail off saying at least two of us need inserts and asking about cost and whether he has them or needs a minimum order.

Re: Albatross Fender insert
I believe the manufacturer's minimum order is 100m, at least it was the last time we asked.
Fasten bra straps and remove dentures...
Re: Albatross Fender insert
If the cost is reasonable I would be willing to buy a length sufficient for a Mk1 Continental, a guess would be say 15 M?
Just let me know by PM.

Re: Albatross Fender insert
I asked them recently and it was in the order of 750 quid - hence I went down the other route. (see above)Rapier wrote:I believe the manufacturer's minimum order is 100m, at least it was the last time we asked.

Re: Albatross Fender insert
Yes, I too would like sufficient for two Albatrosses, one Continential and one classic so I would estimate the total to be 20 metres. Please put me down for this. Many thanks. Keith
