I would say the 239 was the one you're after. Can't speak from experience, but I imagine t-molding.com know what they're talking about.

The slot cutter did the trick for the t-moulding.
I have now finished this project and I am well pleased with it. I will post some pictures of the finished article tomorrow - I have attached some update piccies to bring all up to date on the build.
The completed CP being tested out of the cab. I have the background music as the 28 days later theme tune, creeps you out a little until pacman boots up and...relax.
The sides of the cab after a few coats of plasticoat enamel. The colour is vibrant deep red not washed out like the pic.
I applied stencils to do the side art logo and london eye artwork. They need tidying a little - I used white spirit after taking the picture to wipe away any excess spray after removing the stencil.
If you do stencil I would use a hole cutter to put holes near to the edges of your cut out and then overlay with masking tape - it helps keep the card down flat. No matter how flat it looks as soon as you start spraying the paint and air will curl and distort the stencil. The masking tape helps keep the edges down through the hole cut outs.
I used red plasticoat on the black speaker grilles.
The side art almost finished......
I will use my proper camera tommorow to get some shots of it finished with the T molding and monitor in the cab....
