Hi all, I need some advice on screens for my 1973 Chesney President. The originals would have been the slip on rubber types. Are these still available ? I've looked into the magnetic type but they seem insanely expensive. Any advice will be most appreciated.

Hey there @banjopicker & atefooterz! Here are a couple of links to my repairs on fly screens. I don't know if it these are the same screens but it might help. Tech stuff post: SOLVED: Flycreen repairs - 1978 Viscount poptopMy caravan rebuilt and flyscreen how to: 1978 Viscount Pop Top Refurb - Flyscreen RepairsA couple of things I found about repairing old rubbers is mine seem to have shrunk a bit due to age and some were too hard to get back in. Although worth a shot as it only costs around $3-5 a screen to repair as opposed to $25+ per screen to replace. I'll be heading over to CaravansPlus to replace some (once I work out how to measure the dimensions...lol) as they have replacement Australite Replacement screens |

Hi thanks for the suggestions, we're going to try making the screens using magnetic tape, let you know how it goes soon!
