Cortina MK1 replacement seals
If you are planning a rebuild or its already on the way to being put back together, its a good idea to replace those 46 year old body seals.

..................................................................................................

The Seal Story
If your car is lucky enough still to have the originals still there I doubt whether you will be able to use them again. Usually when you try and remove or touch them they just disintegrate into small pieces. We have replacements available for the most common areas required. It makes a much nicer job and insures that any further water leaks through the tail lights into the boot are reduced.

Door, boot lock, wiper and steering column seals all available. We also have front kick panels and glovebox's for 65-66 models
We can supply tail light seals and park light seals for both models.

Tail light seals for Estate/wagon 'as original' now available!
Seals for the heater pipe outlet, blank or with 2 holes. Please specify which is required.

After numerous requests we now offer a seal for the park lamp body on a 65-66 model.
Not as original but close replacement.

Go here for pricing details.

MK2 Cortina light seals here

..................................................................................................

Interior trim parts
New items available. Front and rear parcel shelves, sill finishing boards, pre-airflow glovebox insert and the boot bulkhead panel. Rear parcel shelf is made to an exact copy of the original. These are always damaged in any car you find speaker holes, cracked and fragile.

Please note: All these trim items are only available in black. Front parcel shelf also made as a exact copy

You will need to use your own front metal beading edge from your old unit.

Another made from an original to ensure a correct fit.

These will fit both 2 and 4 door. Only in black.

Already to fit to your car. Just punch out the seat belt holes if you need them. Pricing here.
Please NOTE:
These above items can only be freighted by a courier company due to their length so its calculated by volume. Freight pricing depends upon your area code. All efforts will be made during packaging to ensure items are kept flat but, due to items travelling through many different 'hands' we cannot guarantee someone will not try and bend the parcel.

..................................................................................................

Kick panels for pre air flow Cortinas
As you can see by the above image there is a cut out for the regulator placement on the passengers side. We have also found two different parcel shelf mounting locations on pre air flow cars. We have no idea why they are different they just are :) There is no way of telling which one you have until you go to fit the kick panel. So what we have done is mark the two spots so all you have to do is cut (with sharp trim knife) the one that most suits your own car. Mounting holes have been kept small as it allows for you to enlarge when you have found to best fit.

...................................................................................................

MK2 cortina seals
Now you can buy seals sets for your MK2 Cortina. Tail light body, lense, parklight body and lense as well as door handle sets. Please specifiy 2 or 4 door. Seals come as complete sets (will not separate)

Set comprises of pair tail light body, pair tail light lense, pair park light body, pair park light lense seals, and a set of door handle seals (please specify 2 or 4 door) Pricing here
