Head lamp bucket gasket

Post by Coyote Patrol »

Anyone have any suggestions on the head lamp bucket gasket to body? I was going to use an inner-tube for them and the windshield hinges. Any better ideas? :D

I've always used inner tubes for the rubber body gaskets.
Beyond any hope for intervention

Since Head lamp bucket gasket are NLA for my Datsun 520, I purchased a 12" x36" piece of 1/18" rubber sheet from an industrial supply store. Works great!

McMaster-Carr is a great source for all sorts of raw material.
In sheet rubber they list various compositions and durometer (hardness)
As others have mentioned, they also sell material to realign parking brakes.
