ali moulding

hi all , could anybody point me in the right direction to source a length of aluminium moulding - the one that goes all the way along the side above the panels above the lower deck windows ?

you could try PVS at Barnsley, or contact Robe Duker, he might know of a stockist.

Unlike RT half round moulding, it was rarely replaced on RMs

My bus number (if any): RTL 960, RM 1585, RMC 1485 and several RTs

Re: ali moulding

I've got some odd lengths in stock, how long do you want them?

Re: ali moulding

Do you mean the moulding on the interior or exterior?

If it's the interior one, which I'm guessing you want, It's alloy with a plastic/ rubber beading insert, known as Herzim strip.

It's only fitted to Routemasters up to 1964 and not found in late RMs or the main production RMLs.

They have a standard alloy strip which was painted as part of the ceiling.

Only the early pre production batch of RMLs had the polished alloy strip.

Re: ali moulding

As he has an RML Jack, and mentioned above the panels I assumed he was talking about the exterior half round moulding. If it is the exterior, the holes and lengths are pre-cut and drilled.

Re: ali moulding

it is the exterior one - about 4 or 5 ft would do the jobs , or longer if needs be

Re: ali moulding

Ah Yes. Stand corrected. Still hope the interior details are of use to someone. J.
