    I'm hoping by starting this thread that the many Testarossa and 512TR owners that have contacted me in the past two months asking for a set of door seals will contact me directly at [email protected]

    I know that there were approximately 8 owners who wanted a set when the new shipment arrived.

    My computer lost all my saved contacts concerning parts wanted.....?!?!?

    The door seals are scheduled to be delivered to me on 10/15/2017
    .
    I will be able to ship for free to all within the US.

    Bad news though is......The seal material increased in cost, as well, the shipping increased from the manufacturer by 100%. To offset the increases I have had to increase the price by $20 USD.
    Now the total cost of seals for both doors, including shipping will be $245 USD.

    Also if you need a brake vaccum impeller YET...because eventually you will.
    I have a few in stock and each comes with all O-rings and FREE shipping worldwide for $595 USD.

    Again please contact me via my email [email protected]

    Thanks

    I just replaced my driver side door seal yesterday with one of Kerry's repro seals. Perfect!

    Hi Jimbo,

    So how did you measure and glue the joint? Did you leave it at stock location with a 45 degree cut on each side? Or did you move the joint to some other place?

    Kerry...
    How about posting some pics? Especially some close shots of the 90deg corners etc.
    Cheers,
    Vincenzo

    Yes, the door seals were cut at 45 degrees and joined at the top rear corner of the door

    Any clues with regards the glue you used and has it held up?

    Kerry, I never emailed you back but I did receive my set of door seals. I'm going to do the install this weekend. Any tips or tricks to make it easier? Which glue should we use? Should the seals butt together at the top rear of the door opening?
    Thank you

    Dear all,
    I need new door seals / gaskets for my 1998 Ferrari Testarossa and found this thread. Has anyone used these door seals offered by Kerry?
    Thanks in advance,
    Adrian

    a member here since 2.2020 and not even filled out his profile or introduced himself a little.
    so you think it is good to ask here when nobody knows some from you?

    I recently got the seals from kerry for my Boxer. I have not installed it yet, but it looks exactly like what I wanted.

    It's common for the vacuum impeller shaft to break at the splines. Kerry had some new & improved shafts for sale as I recall.

    Any photos on a Before condition and After on the 512 door Seals. How bad were they before and why does this happen? How long will the new seal last? Will they get eaten up with in 1 door close? I have a 512M and figure these seals should be the same?
