Gday everyone, been reading the old posts about Bailey channel I've recently found a website that may have some that maybe useful
http://www.grahamrubber.com.au/-products/bailey_channel_copy_copy_copy
From memory, (was half asleep and struggling with effects of night shift)
Bailey channel needed was about 15 mm deep, closest I found had some at 14mm deep
Hope this helps out those who are interested
-
Don't think this really helps, just measured my Bailey channel it's roughly 22 1/2 mm deep and about 15 mm wide
Sorry for the false alarm

Here's reply from classic plastic regarding Bailey channel and door rubbers
Hi Brett,
Sorry but we don't make the bailey channel or doorrubbers. We cast smaller
rubber items and lenses. You could try Scotts Old Auto Rubber, this is their
specialty.
Regards Dale

Think I may try to make or modify some or/ and go down path of getting different door glass as was suggested in another thread started by restoreid

tried him LS120, he said a few people have tried one from page 25, item 350.458
he said they tried it, but no idea how it went. think ill go the way of different glass cut for windows and modify some. Will eliminate the hunting around

The channel in the door is the same for sides and top, just the original top bit was deeper.
I replaced mine with a universal one, it sits in the channel but doesn't come outside like the original, is a bit tricky to get the top in but seems to work well, mind you I haven't taken a motorway trip yet.
With the original CF windows having the cut out in them they may be a bit noisey, mine are flat now cause of the roof chop
-
I'm with Busy on this one. After a long unsuccessful worldwide search for the deeper channel I eventually pushed a filler spacer into the top door channel and then used a standard depth piece of Bailey channel in a single length running across the top and down both sides. My new side glass doesn't have the original cutout and the windows seal perfectly with no wind noise.
-
Thank you Busy and Gordon,, I think this is the best path open to us
I'll get glass cut and use available channel and something else to take up gap
Thanks everyone

Treat yourself to some tinted glass whilst you are about it Gunning. Its made a big difference to my van for only a little extra on the price.
-
Thanks for the tip Gordan, may as well get it all done at once
-
Hey Gordon. Who did you get to make up your windows and what did they cost.
Need to catch up some time mate.

Hi Garry
Metro Glass did mine to a template that I provided and then toughened. Mist green was the colour from memory. They were pretty pricey at around $300 for the pair. Ray got a set done recently for his van at a much better price, so I would shop around a bit.
Cheers Gordon

You could try the place in Albany, think it's called Glass Shape. Think they changed owners and their prices went up but worth a shot. They quoted me over 6 grand for my screen, but that was a while back
Another place is Glass Relate, think they based in Henderson
