I can find it at my local hardware store, and it comes in black, grey, brown etc.
What's in the photo is quite thick, but it can be easily worked down into something smaller.

I'm going to give this a try. Thanks for that Jeff.

OVERRIDER BEADING SET ORP5/J https://share.google/JVUrRsq58WZy5sPzR

Jose, You've probably seen the above from COH Baines. They make a lot of profiles at fair prices, though it may be far more by the time it reaches Florida

Peter,
I got the image from a eBay seller. I visited the site you mention but cannot find the same extrusion.
It is the same bead used in the overriders in my S type.
Checked with SNG USA but they only sell a kit with pieces already cut to size for the overriders, not a continuous length of 6 feet.

Jose, It might be worth sending the picture to Baines and asking them what they can do and the cost of getting it to you.

I keep reply to these messages, but nothing appears from me. Think I'm doing something wrong.

If there's an administrator, webmaster or similar looking or someone knows how to contact them, Paul Singleton is writing replies that don't appear in the thread.

Notifications of his posts are being emailed and they appear in the forum index, but the replies aren't here in the thread. Could someone fix it or tell Paul what he might be doing wrong?

@AdministrationTeam we still don't see Paul Singleton's last post! Is there a delay or something on new members?
