Title: Lancia Aprilia door threshold seal/ metal strip Post by: Alvis2931 on 24 October, 2020, 04:44:46 PM Hi
Does anyone know where/if I can acquire the metal strip / rubber seal which is screwed to the door aperture/ threshold and up to which the bottom of the door abuts? Thanks Julian Title: Re: Lancia Aprilia door threshold seal/ metal strip Post by: appiaman on 24 October, 2020, 07:34:16 PM I need some too..

I know of someone else who is looking Title: Re: Lancia Aprilia door threshold seal/ metal strip Post by: Martin9 on 25 October, 2020, 10:23:21 AM Me too!
Title: Re: Lancia Aprilia door threshold seal/ metal strip Post by: simonandjuliet on 27 October, 2020, 05:28:13 PM Just to check that we are talking about the same thing ...... I took mine off today to measure it up

Brian Title: Re: Lancia Aprilia door threshold seal/ metal strip Post by: simonandjuliet on 28 October, 2020, 05:43:43 PM I've done some initial costings and had a quote for tooling and production, so if we can get a firm commitment for 10 orders then it could work ..... each car needs 3m - 1.5m/side
I'll drop everyone a line with very, very approximate pricing ! Title: Re: Lancia Aprilia door threshold seal/ metal strip Post by: josefewald on 28 October, 2020, 07:32:08 PM Hello Simon,
me too, my car is lacking this detail. (I already joined in on the exterior trim strips as well as the fuel pump....) Looking forward to receiving more details, many thanks for your effort!!!

This sounds great and is exactly what I’m looking for.Is the rubber seal obtainable for the metal extrusion? Thankyou for your efforts Best Julian Title: Re: Lancia Aprilia door threshold seal/ metal strip Post by: simonandjuliet on 29 October, 2020, 02:21:49 PM I think that the seal is available in Italy at Elvezio:

Certainly looks right. Probably best to get a sample to be certain before producing the metal channel. It all sounds very promising. Thanks for all your help. I also think this is something which plenty of people will want.I am surprised there aren’t more Aprilias on the road. My background is VSCC in terms of clubs and I’m amazed more members of that club don’t want a prewar Aprilia because they do everything so well and you tend to stay dry - even with the seals missing! They need the seals really and it gives something for the carpet to come up to. Carpets in the rear and on the cill are another job to do in my car Best Julian Title: Re: Lancia Aprilia door threshold seal/ metal strip Post by: simonandjuliet on 29 October, 2020, 03:24:58 PM Thanks Julian
I have ordered a seal to make sure that it is the right one, so let's see ! Title: Re: Lancia Aprilia door threshold seal/ metal strip Post by: simonandjuliet on 20 November, 2020, 07:23:44 AM Quick update .....not forgotten !
The seal sample has arrived from Italy and the section of the aluminium should be arriving very soon, then quick check of everything and I can start the production run Title: Re: Lancia Aprilia door threshold seal/ metal strip Post by: simonandjuliet on 21 January, 2021, 01:23:16 PM I am sorry but due to new restrictions and uncertainties following Brexit, mainly to do with VAT & duties, I am going to have to abandon this project (and others) for the time being
The problem arises from my living in France and having anything made in the UK will now have import duties applied and it makes these projects nonviable Hopefully there may be a way round this in the future, but at the moment it is too complicated Title: Re: Lancia Aprilia door threshold seal/ metal strip Post by: brian on 21 January, 2021, 03:54:44 PM ?send it out as a gift and by coincidence a birthday present of some cash gets into your bank account.
My belief that Brexit would end in tears is coming true. |
