Opal Door Rubbers

Hi,

Please could any Opal owners send me a photo of the door rubbers that they have installed. I am restoring a 1937/38 Opal.

I have just hung the doors back on the car and realised that I will have metal to metal contact. I guess there should be some sort of rubber to prevent this from happening?

Also on the off chance that anyone has ever put an opal body back on it's chassis I would really appreciate some tips on how to align the body with the doors. At the moment I have aa unequal gap between the bottom and top of the doors ( larger gap at the top). I guess I will need to raise the body at the back of the car and add some spacers to align the door and body?

Thanks to anyone who provides comments or support.

Matt
