Retro chrome t-molding

[big10p]

Does anyone know if it's possible to get hold of t-molding as shown in the pics? It's 3/4" chrome effect, with 2 grooves running down it. I like the retro style of this stuff, and really don't want to use the modern, domed chrome t-molding. I'd rather stick with the battered original t-molding that use that!

Cheers

I guess this is impossible to get these days, then? It's pretty knackered so may have to go for the modern chrome, after all.

Is that stuff aluminium? Looks great.

Sorry I can't help. I don't like the new 'chrome' stuff either.

I searched everywhere for this stuff not long ago, not a sniff of anything even close.

Pity as it has a cool vintage look about it.

Yeah, I really like the retro/vintage look, too. Pity it can't be had, anymore.

No, it's plastic but does have an aluminium look to it.

How much do you need ? I have a scrap cab that has it on,could take it off carefully ? Just a thought.its very good actually, but the top corner has a knock . the rest is very good .

Kind offer, thanks. I will have to measure and get back to you. It's on a Lordvale style cab. Just wondering how well it would fit if it's from a different style cab, what with curves and notches cut in different places?

Yep , no doubt it could look a mess. Didn't know it it was a section to repair. This cab has a knock on a corner . not really had time to see if its glued . at first I thought it was alloy, but closer look its plastic.

Just measured and its about 315cm long, each side.

I thought about trying to repair it so having some spare would be good to give that a go.

I no longer need this stuff, but for anyone that does, I just spotted this on ebay:

Awesome find! Well done!
I had a Century wood cab with this on. Very much the cafe cabaret style!
