Rubber Straight Ends HDR 24.5x4x600 – 294160

The Rubber Straight Ends HDR 24.5x4x600 (part 294160) is a genuine Holdfast replacement rubber strip. Rubber strip of this type is the wear surface between hard components and the load, and it perishes with sunlight and age rather than with use, so it is worth replacing on condition rather than waiting for it to fail.

Specifications

• Section: 24.5mm x 4mm
• Length: 600mm
• Part number: 294160
• Material: HDR rubber

Match the section, then the length

Holdfast supplies this strip in more than one section and more than one length, and the section matters more than the length. A strip that is the right length but the wrong section will not seat correctly and will work loose. The alternatives are the 24.5 x 4 x 260mm strip (294150), which is the same section in a shorter length, and the 27 x 4 x 260mm strip (294142), which is a wider section.

Measure the strip you are replacing across its width before ordering. If the original has perished badly, measure the groove or channel it sits in instead.

When to replace rubber

Replace the strip when it has gone hard and lost its give, when it is cracked or crazed along its length, when it has taken a permanent set and no longer fills its channel, or when it has started to lift at the ends. South African sun is hard on rubber, and a strip that looks tired usually is.
