I'm not sure what you mean by T and L trim, could you elaborate? I'm sure some one here has a good idea :thumbsup:

I assume he's looking for the aluminum trim which has a side profile similar to a T and an L. The point still stands, what size? Length? etc.

Grant Whipp (Lil bear Tears) sales it and it bendable http://www.lilbear.teardrops.net/index.html

and Vintage Technologies also carries it http://teardroptrailerparts.com/Hinges_ ... m_Trim.php

I have bought from both and they are reasonable and very prompt on deliverie. You can buy aluminum trim at Lowe's and bend your own angled AL but you wil have to anneal it to get it to bend to your needs. They do not have T molding there though but there are other threads in the construction categorie that might help with this.

I had left over "skin" and access to a metal break, I made my own.

Thats awesome. I need to get a brake, I am real good on the diacros. Ran them for years at work.

I ended up going with the lil bear ones. I need them by friday so I ordered them.

Larger RV dealers usually operate a repair shop and will have and sell RV trim. I was able to buy locally and found some trim the local dealer had for an extended time at a very reasonable price. Was the exact mill finish I needed, seems they don't use it on modern RV.s very often - most are white trim.
