Fender Beading

Post by justinshelton »

I am hauling my 411 in to be painted this weekend, but I did all of the prep work myself to save money . . .

When I did the prep, I removed the fender beading, which was in horrible shape. When the car comes back I need to install new beading, but want I am finding is only for T1 and T3 cars. I assume I can make it work, but I'd prefer actual T4 beading, which seems to be somewhat diffent.

Thoughts on what to use or where to go?

Thanks,

Justin

Type 3 is the same profile in the front, but it is usually too short and has cut-outs in the wrong place. i am trying to finish the molds for some by the end of July. There are two different profiles for the 411/412. I have found better than stock material, just a time issue right now. Ray
