I'm looking for a supplier of edging and weather stripping.

Locally - it's a joke. I've checked out auto shops - marine shops and they either want a crap load ($15/meter for weather stripping) or don't know what the heck i am talking about.

I searched and found these guys out of the UK:
http://www.carbuildersolutions.co.uk

specifically:
http://www.carbuildersolutions.co.uk/download/trim_page.pdf

very cool stuff there, but i don't want to wait for shipping and pay the pound. Is there someone in North America that offers this kind of cool stuff?

thanks.

The pound is pretty decent vis a vis the Cdn dollar right now..about $1.80 I think. Couple of years ago when I was there it was about $2.20.

JC Whitney catalogue has lots plus profiles and measurements. Not sure but Princess Auto in Canada may have them...you should get their catelogs if you're into tools, cars, etc as they have tons of stuff. Eastwood has some too.
