Head lamp bucket gasket
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?

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.
