i've obtained a Spitfire with the factory steel hardtop and it needs a rear screen gasket. wondering if anyone here knows of a source? thanks in advance!

You could try these, they have a triumph section but you also may need to look elsewhere the hardtop could be an outsourced part even though factory supplied

Hi 62 Rebel

I use James Paddock for all my Triumph Stag bits , they are very good know their stuff, most of what they stock is new but they also have some used stuff.

Moss do them, you'd need to check out how much to send to the US but shouldn't be much really

thanks, fellas, no sooner than i had posted, than i went into a dozen or more Spit enthusiast sites and managed to find the seal available. can't wait to get stuck right in again.... i hope the hardtop is capable of turning the Spit into a practical year-round car. if not, i shall buy a flat cap.
