I did get mine from Rory at Marcos heritage. Do you mean the weather 
strip for the glass in the doors, that the glass slides up and down 
in? If you do then this on the early cars was a fibre material and not 
rubber. I got mine from a Caravan / Camper window manufacturer, and 
was able to purchase the exact size. The wiring harness I have always 
believed where  Triumph Spitfire/ Herald or some thing like that. But 
I don't know that for sure.
