I'm trying to source a suitable windscreen seal locally to suit my Amazon resto. I'm after various other seals too but the windscreen is the biggie. Amongst my parts I have various used seal sections to measure against and I want to try and find locally available alternatives if at all possible. The difficulty that I have with buying the real thing is with the expense of importing such parts. Freight and money transfers can make an inexpensive seal quite pricey.

I have started by taking digital photos then scaling and tracing them on CAD to produce a scale picture of the correct profile. I have compared with a few catalogues from local distributors but no joy so far on the couple I have traced. Can anyone confirm that the front and rear windscreens have the same seal section? They look pretty similar (apart from the glued on angle corners of the rear) but my front seal is too far gone to be certain.

Here's a sample of what I have traced. Does anyone know a source for more profile drawings?
