I am looking for an American retailer that sells the CORRECT fit rubber seals. Today, I tried to put my new cowl vent seal on my 1934 and that is when I discovered that it is fits a 1935-36 Ford truck.
I contacted the retailer and they said that is all they sell and to look in their catalog. So together we looked in their catalog while on the phone and I read it to them - 1933-34 Ford pass. Does not fit. Fits 1935-36 Ford truck.
I was torqued. I explained to the no-caring voice at the other end that they can drop the part about the 1933-34 car as some of us old B--tards can't read that hot.
She said to try Hemmings as if they would sell any.
Anyway, I looked on ePay and they too offer that "correct" cowl vent until reading the descriptions and all that I can find, Vintique, Moss (same as Vintique), C&G, etc. all have that same funky description.
WHO actually sells the CORRECT rubber cowl vent gasket / seal JUST FOR the 1933-34 Ford closed cars????
I guess I can always weld it shut or use silicone as a gasket.
I am sure I will hit the same problems for my rumble lid, the doors, widows, etc. Are their any "real" rubber seal makers out there anymore?
Thank you.
