Cooker seal for ageing gas cooker

[HappyJoe]

Got an ageing (but who's old at 20?) Parkinson Cowan Sonata GX 50 cooker with a very wrecked lower door seal in dire need of replacement. The seal is continuous, so no cheapo kit from eSpares will do. G.A.Spares have a seal that they say is for this device but it seems too short at 47.5" My measurement says the length should be closer to 60"...

It seems odd that a cooker specific part should be so far out: or is this a normal discrepancy is this field?

Is there a source of continuous cooker seals that isn't espares or GAS, please?

This one any good, doesn't appear to give a length but you could e-mail them http://www.buyspares.co.uk/parkinso...l?shop=parkinsoncowan&path=108035&refine=seal What's wrong with the e-spares universal ones for the 4 sided type?

May get a slap on the wrist off the mods but have you tried your local serviceforce centre ?

No, I haven't... have you got a fellow driver/repairer/shareholder in the Bristol area, then?

Thanks for this - I hadn't seen/registered it in my searching. I'll ring tomorrow.

The universal is made with metal corner pieces to hand the user-trimmed seal by, but the 50 GX needs a continuous seal that is gripped along its length by parts of the oven's assembly pressings.

I'm Happier now
