There'll be a universal one you can cut to length. Id drop in and ask at your local windscreen fitters.
Although the last time I had a front screen fitted they sourced a rear screen seal from somewhere so they do still exist!
*edit*
But knowing you you're fitting a plexi sheet so rivets will do surely. Lets not get all precious now, after all : race car!

Damen & Kroes Boxtel B V can be expensive sometimes, but email them, they do reply in English. (and the Euro is quite good at the moment)

xpart prices
I would have expected / thought (probably incorrectly) that any xpart supplier would price items in line with the last know Rover list price, not some random, it must be worth a mint try on. However, we live in a free market Western economic system, so all parts are worth what someone is willing to pay for them. At the moment our cars are not worth enough to either command silly prices or on the downside anyone to make new components. So for the near future at least, ebay, Rimmers, scrapyards and xpart it is!

I have found it all depends on the individual company. If it comes from xpart direct, then its the list price with no movement. If the company has it in stock, like Rimmers or colliers or some other ex rover dealer, they are open to negotiation. Sometimes they want the space more than they want the money for the part. I had some new bumper end caps the three cost me £7 the one right cost £32. The three came from a dealer and the one right hand came from xpart. the dealer just wanted to clear the space, so more or less charged me the postage.
Same as I bought 10 brand new rear wiper arms. For £10, when I needed 1, the price was £6, the dealer said the postage was the same so I could have all he had left for a tenner to clear shelf space.
Usually the physically bigger the part, the more likely they will want it gone.

Just like gharper said, depends on the company.
My dad buys his parts from Rimmer Bros as they had some pretty good finance history http://www.bizdb.co.uk/company/rimme...ited-02155394/ and that's something you should consider.
In addition, they have always been quite helpful.
