Source for gauge lens gaskets

[Joe Flanagan]

Does anyone know where these can be found? I'm looking for the round rubber gasket that goes behind the glass of the dash gauges. Mine melted and basically no longer exist.

Could you cut one out of thin sheet rubber from the local hardware store?

[Joe Flanagan]

That is probably the easiest solution. Would just need to find the right kind of rubber.

Can't you find an O ring that would be a perfect fit? Granted probably cost more.

[Joe Flanagan]

Might, but it would have to be a very large O-ring. I guess it also wouldn't necessarily have to be rubber either, would it?

You asked for it. Google Trojan rubber company, Troy, Ohio. And please explain the very large thing???????

:rolleyes:They sell kits cut to cut them to length/diameter/circumference. What ever. This is for the o ring not the other direction this threads going.

Besides there encite..

[Joe Flanagan]

Does Trojan call their product a "rubber?" Kind of takes all the romance out of things.

I used the rubber welting that holds in the screen on a house screen door. They come in many sizes and can be cut to the right length. I've used it on two sets of gauges and it works fine.

Joe to add to Buds post go to a local hardware store like Ace. Gotta be someplace that repairs screens. Ask them if you can see their sizes of spline and find one that fits.

Probably cheaper too. I like it. Good tip.

I have a whole bunch of that stuff in my cellar. I never even thought of it. D'oh!
