Rubber Wear!

Hi All Is there a specific type of rubber moulding that is generally used to fit on the edge of the scuttle above the dash? I've seen various pics of cars with a type of padded edging . Dont want to use the r ibbed snap on stuff ,looks too basic . Have looked at various suppliers ,but no joy. What have others used? Cheers ROD

i made my own trim , I used a strip of vinyl as used on the dash and stitched it around a length of 8mm dia electrical cable , actually tv aerial coax. I then sandwiched it between the dash and scuttle and bolted through it.

But whats the fun in buying it? .I also needed it there and then, I find that if I buy something I either pay other the odds for 1 item to be posted or wait until ive got a bigger order and then have to wait for it arrive.
