64 windshield vent

[Chachie]

Took all of this apart the vent has a gasket around it Can you still get these? If not does anyone know where I can get rubber thick enough to duplicate this?I am sure i can cut it to match if i can find it thick enough. Do not even know where to start on that.

I'd contact National Shoe or similar...

Shoe supply wholesalers would likely have the raw materials...

SOR.com is another option.

I am in awe where you guys find some of this stuff. Smurf i will give them a call

I used to work around the corner from them and we bought supplies there.

Offhand, without seeing your seal, I'd say you need some 6mm (1/4") EVA foam... About 45 durometer.

It's on the soffter end of shoe midsole from a "cross trainer"

PM me if you have questions.

I would only use the SOR as a last resort, as I have purchased two of them and both failed within 1 to 2 years of installation. Many others have had similiar experiences. The material just doesn't hold up well to weathering.

go to Space Age Auto Paint on Country Club - they have a huge selection of gasket materials

less than a mile from Kevin's shop, BTW

This web site has a wide selection of rubber including the grommets www.rubbertherightway.com

You can cut/make your own gaskets if you know the thickness. I've ordered from mcmaster-carr before with good results. You can buy by the sheet and then use for lots of different areas.
