Sheet metal trim
« on: July 25, 2010, 17:53:12 »
Hi all,

Im fitting a wee bit of chequer this week and would like to trim it off with some rubber or plastic trim just to keep it neat.

Anyone know what the correct stuff is called and where i can get it from?

Thanks

Do you mean edging trim?

I tend to get stuff like that from Car Builder Solutions (Kit car people)

Look for a rubber extrusion company in your area. They should be able to offer what you need.

Darn sarf, we have people like Woolies (http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/). They could mail order to you if you can't find anything locally.

Edge trim can look odd on checker unless the raised tread is machined back at the edge so trim sits flush... unless there is some nice rubber trim supple enough to follow the profile.

This kind of trim wouldn't give that problem.

I see CBS do the same stuff called Wing Piping http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/wing-piping--trmpi-1569-p.asp  looks a bit more expensive than woolies though!
