kbuhagiar Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Hello Folks, I am in the process of replacing the trunk lock cylinder on my 47 Plymouth. Unfortunately, the gasket that goes between the lock cylinder and the trunk handle assembly disintegrated upon removal. I checked my parts stock for possible replacements, but all of my stuff is from mostly mid-60's cars and nothing was even close (they were all too large in circumference). I checked with Bernboom, and he doesn't have one. Does anyone know where I could find one of these gaskets? Or if one from another make/model would fit? If necessary, I will resort to some gasket/seal stock and a very sharp blade, but I'd rather not... Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53_Suburban Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) Steele Rubber might have it. I don't have the catalog here at home but they have a lot of early Mopar stuff. Edited October 9, 2010 by 53_Suburban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niel Hoback Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 What is the general shape of the gasket? Could you use an "O" ring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbuhagiar Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 What is the general shape of the gasket? Could you use an "O" ring? Thanks for the suggestion, but it wouldn't work. The gasket I need is circular, like an o-ring, but the shape is flat, as opposed to an o-ring, which is tubular. What I need is similar to this: Thanks again!

Just as well as it probably would have cost around thirty bucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
