Follow up: First, thanks to Robert who said: >>McMaster Carr does have the rubber your are seeking. I would recommend using commercial grade neoprene rubber for it's good weather resistance properties. Go with the Shore 70A durometer. You can even get adhesive backed rubber if you desire. Go to their site & enter catalog page number "3247" in the "find products" box and you will be ready to order. >> I called my local Phoenix rubber place and ended up sourcing a 12"x12" sheet of 1/16" rubber. A few quick cuts of the razor blade and my scissors and the seals were made: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/index.mv?photo+135234.jpg It was a commercial rubber and hose place and the guy liked my sad "need rubber for my rare VW Ghia" story so he traded me the rubber for a can of soda out of the machine at his work. Cool. :) -- Everett Barnes '63 361, '66 343 Phoenix, AZ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
