Running boards - Charles Levien - 24-08-2019
Some advice please— my running boards ( 1937 two seat tourer) need new rubber covering. I’ve got the nearside off the car. The old rubber is stuck on like the proverbial to a blanket. The tin is not too bad but will need a bit of sorting, especially at the narrow end.
So, questions — is there an easy way to get the old rubber off ( the top principally) or should I just get a new bit of tin and if the latter are they available?
Thanks,
Charles

I had similar problems and used a heat gun, it was a bit smelly, but it worked!

Thanks for that — I found an old camping gas paint stripper on a dusty shelf and this did the trick. An outside job!
