There are two seals - one is a foam one that is slit to fit round the air intake louvres, and the other seals the outer rear fenders from the inner wheel well. That's a spring-welt with a rubber tongue - like a narrow y-shape section. They are available from vintage trim specialists, who might well be able to supply the other sort too. I suppose both seals prevent metal to metal contact, as well as air/dirt sealing. Dave.
