Thanks to everyone for the weatherstrip help. My next question is strut mounts. What is a good replacement strut mount for my car? I cannot get Fiat items here so I will modify the strut towers to fit some sort of replacement. Will VW or Volvo mounts work? What about the Ford Focus? I also would like to find urethane front suspension bushings. Any help is appreciated.

I am currently collecting all of the bits to create a 131 Abarth replica. I do not know yet if it will be Italian powered or go for a jap turbo engine.

This mob do suspension bushes etc. I got a quote from them the other day, Sway bar bushes, front control arm inner bushes, rear upper and lower control arm bushes about OZ $250 including freight. I'm going to get a set for the rear of mine in the new year. Freight from OZ to the US is not as expensive as getting anything out of the US. They can probably do top strut mounts as well.

not that i know of. he has bog standard parts, bushings and upper strut mounts.
why do you want polyuretane bushings? i've install them on my lada and can tell you that ride is rock hard with those. also, they have a nasty habit of producing unpleasant sounds if not greased regularly, as every 2 months
