wiper gaskets

Post by Zorm »

Ok, got these from LMC and not impressed. I found some material lying around, a sheet of rubber and a fome packing material stuff. The pic has all three material and their thickness. If too think, what about getting that rubberized cork stuff from auto parts place

You should be able to make your own by using the pattern of the LMC part, here is a video from Autorestomod that shows the rubberized neoprene ones they used from Autokrafters. I bought mine from either NPD or Dennis Carpenter, and they were the neoprene type. The video shows that Ford used leather for the originals, but they didn't hold up, that's why a lot of cabs leaked and the floor pans rusted out.

Ok, I went to the Denis Carpenter web site, find these but they look just like the ones I got from LMC. So, I hit National Parts Depot web site and look at theirs. The look like the ones in that video, I order a pair. In the meantime I pickup some gasket material from AZ and make my own. About two days ago I get the set I ordered from NPD and see that the package they are in, is from Denis Carpenter :? funny.

Had a similar thing happen to me. Bought some new in box floor pans and rear cab corners from a member here. Shipped to me in the original NPD packaging. DC stickers were on the part. They sometimes buy bulk from DC and usually sell cheaper. SOMETIMES! No guarantee you'll get DC parts every time.
