Looking for Info on F100s

Hi guys

This is my first post, I hope I've put this question in the right Section?

I have an '85 F-100 LWB with a 'Safari' Canopy Conversion (walk through). I'm looking to strip it for a full re-spray and I'm trying to find out if it is possible to replace the water seal between the cab and the canopy (custom to that company). I've tried to locate 'Safari Canopy & Conversions Pty Ltd' who built it. But with no luck. Does anyone know if the company closed down or moved or maybe someone else may have taken over these conversion?

Never heard of the company, but perhaps if you took the seal down to a seal-shop (that's the technical term..), they'd be able to supply you with something the same...

Thanks atec77, I tryed them and it turns out to be a fabric company. Even the yellow pages & white pages don't have listings for them. My guess is they've closed down.
These are the canopies, (below) there are so many around I was hoping someone had taken it over under a different name?

it will no doubt just be pinch weld with a round rubber on it, if you have a sampel why not try the grippy rubber co or simular? I think Clrak rubber may do this sort of thing off the roll as well
