 I got mine from Performance Car Graphics.  $8/ea.  I don't know if they make the Year One gaskets or if somebody else does.  They're pretty knowledgeable on wing cars.  They have all the stripes and nose cone seals, too.

I think the point is that he has after market bases so original or exact reproduction gaskets don't fit.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

Thank you Troy , maybe I need to go slower ? Yes the base and bolt pattern varies from orig .

Call PCG.  They'll probably sell you a couple square pieces of the matieral they use so you can trim them to fit your wing.

Last time I talked to them, they were very accommodating and helpful.

I thought I was the only kid on Forum who rode short bus !!!! THE AFTERMARKET WINGS Vary BECAUSE THEY ARE REPRODUCTIONS AND THERE IS ALWAYS CORE SHIFT !!!

Hey Dave, that's what Gary Mendelow used, tar paper or "roofing felt" is the name I always have heard. I was a bit surprised, but you're the second person that's said this now.


Larry, if you want a free piece of roofing felt, I have part of a roll leftover from my garage in case you want to use it, or at least try it out. There are two thicknesses I usually see, not sure which one would be used, or which I have, but I can mail you a piece.

Let me know if you want it & just give me your mailing address.

Thanks ! but it is definitely not roofing paper . It is very much thicker than asphalt paper . It is rubber with some kind of cloth woven in for strength
