Has anyone here replaced the seals in the an old bronze portlight like this one below? Not the best image but hopefully enough. I have not taken the seal out yet but it just looks like a squarish section and would be happy to hear from others on this if possible.

Thanks MEGAMAX...
archive.com seems to just redirect to a twitter account.. Either it is hijacked or does not exist anymore I guess.

Found it.. Seems like the homepage has been hijacked but finding a direct link was fine. Might sub to this as it looks interesting anyway.

Thanks again.

Actually that article seems to assume you can get a correct new seal but I am assuming I would need to make one up from a length of square section seal. That is my current assumption but I am now trying to find where I can get a hold of this kind of seal section in OZ.

If you have a local Clark Rubber, check them out for rubber seals, they have a fair selection of profiles.

Ah yes, of course.. Just looked online and they seem to have quite a few to choose from. Thanks samsturdy.
