Weatherstripping, odd pieces??

[buckroseau]

Any where else than Spector to buy this. I would gladly buy these from them, but they have a $100 min. And I don't need anything else right now.

Thanks, Matt

I did not know of a $100 min order from them. Is that to get some kind of free shipping deal or something? I have ordered a ton of stuff, and never ran into that.

If Spectre doesnt have it, try the stealorship

Go to home depot or lowes. Buy a single garage door weatherstrip kit. It should look like a ~9' long piece of black foam rubber. Slice your diag. cuts for the 45s and then glue together with a hobby hot glue gun. Use either weatherstripping cement or hot glue to attach it to your vehicle. It works great and beats the hell out of spending $100. Costs about $11 for the seal.

There's no $100 minimum at Specter. And no free shipping, either. Except during their "sale" last week they offered free shipping for orders over $3000. But that's over. Yes, their box charges and shipping fees make small orders less than cost effective.

Your right? They didn't have a minimum?? I don't know what I was thinking, probably all that crack cocaine???

Approx. $15 bucks for all 4 corner pieces, ordered a new mainfold gasket while I was at it. I need to replace that here someday also. I have a fresh 2F rebuild and I have a very iratic idle, pretty sure it's the gasket.

Thanks, Matt

One way to deal with SOR's shipping charge is to save up your orders and try to get in on one order with other club members. Get everyone to order together on one their 10% sales. If and when one club member goes to Southern CA and visits SOR (mandatory destination, like Disneyland ) he can tell his local hometown cruiserheads and get their orders.

My bro used to work less than a mile from there and he used to pick parts up for me all the time. I guess he got tired of me asking so he moved to Missouri

Matt,
When I resto'd my 08/75 I spent alot of time looking at the parts fish at my local Toy dealer. I was fanatical about buying all those little things like you show in the pic to make it really look original. I remember that pic as the fish showed these parts but when the parts guy went looking for part numbers for my production date he said they did not exist for my truck. My point is to let you know something I found out so it may apply to yours as well. YMMV.

It would be nice to have a list of all of that kind of stuff that needs to be replaced on a restoration. I am taking mine completley apart, so I want to replace all of the rubber.
