    Interesting that all the suppliers list it for 2/2a/3 and don't mention Series I. I haven't done my Series I so not sure if it's different.

    I import mine for 2/2a/3 when I'm ordering parts from the UK. Colour of the material seems to fade if the vehicle is left outside as one of mine is. I wonder how long before the steel backing rusts.....Some of the lengths come in the dreaded blue bags.

    These guys let you choose Britpart or Genuine (I wonder who actually makes the 'genuine', could be Britpart with a Land Rover tax added !).search results for "channel"

    Some rubber suppliers keep Bailey channel.

    Four Wheel Drives used to have the kits and also long lengths you could cut down. These must have been sourced locally whereas most of their parts are now imported. I'll try & find out where they sourced it.

    Scotts have downsized but would still carry it. Just a PO Box number now rather than their old factory.

    All Four x 4 told me in Cooma that they were planning to have it available, so you could try them.

    Thanks all.

    I don't see why S1 would be different to the others, but what would I know as I have been wr wr wr mistaken before.

    Scotts stock Bailey channel but working out which is the correct one from their list isn't easy. Some suppliers sell kits complete with screws, and others just the channel. And if I recall from doing the Stage 1 years ago, the screws have quite small heads to not interfere with the glass so much.

    I'll see what I can ascertain from a couple of phone calls and if successful will convey the results.

    I sourced stainless screws from my local bolt supplier, thought that there might be a chance of removing them in the future.
