nolan in blaine Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 1937 chrysler Royal. I have searched and came up with Steele and Roberts for vintage parts and rubber. But i dont see the gaskets for the head light lenses. Whats everyone doing with theirs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodFitch Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 For about the last 40 years I've used some cotton clothes line cord, about 1/4" in diameter cut to length. Seems like the clothes line cord I've seen recently has a nylon core so I am not sure how good it would be regarding compressibility, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebeebe5 Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 I used a white weather stripping from a local hardware store. Works perfectly. Trimmed it in half, stuck the self adhesive side to the glass rim and it’s perfect. And cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blucarsdn Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 The original gaskets for the reflector type of headlights was generally cork. Steve's Restoration in Portland OR stocks cork in various thickness's and lengths. I ordered some 1/4 x 1/4 for my '39 Plym from Steve's a couple days ago. $7.50 per pair. Wm.
