[modeleng] Re Rubber Seal

OK for some reason I have messages on my PDA (which I deleted) about 
rubber seal, but nothing at home....

Anyway, Kenny?  thanks for the pointers.  I e-mailed Hexham sealants and 
  whilst their sheets are sold at over a metre wide he has sent me some 
samples (enough for the fuel sight glass).

A nice chap.

They have my recommendation!

That's Hexham Sealants & Coatings, Corbridge, Northumberland.

Cheers

Peter
