I'm putting '56 Fairlane/Bird backup lights on my '55. Does anybody reproduce the gasket that goes between the backup light and body (PN 15533 on the diagram)?

This is the Page on these Reversing Lights posted by KULTULZ.
It shows the Back-up Lights for the 1955 and 1956 Fords.

The gasket is readily available from the TBird parts vendors. I assume the other Ford parts vendors also have them.
