I am replacing all rubbers around the doors of my KG 61 coupé. I have a full set of West Coast Metric.

Cannot find however the original white coloured rubber? strips that sit vertically on the interior part of end the front side fenders and + rear side fenders. See 2 pictures.

Can you buy them new in the US of Europe (preferred)?

I believe those are called windlace.
They are actually a part of the upholstery.
Can’t really speak to your ’61 but on my ‘70 they are wrapped with door panel material.

They're called windlace. Sewfine sells reproductions, page 39 of their catalog.

You can also make them yourself by wrapping vinyl around some thick cordage or rubber hose.

You can also get them from West Coast Classic interiors but honestly your best bet would be to take your original pieces and have an upholstery shop make them for you locally. They are just some pieces of vinyl wrapped around foam tubing and stitched together.
