Bob, did you replace the rubber?

I'm thinking that is the route to go with a polishing to the stainless...the question is how to get a good bite with no industrial stappler?

The original screws in my 67 were black and very small

Gary, the seals are available everywhere from the big box stores.

One would just have to figure out how to staple them on.

I'm sure if a judge wanted to really raise the bar, you might be able to look inside and see rivets where there should be staples...

The disapointing thing is they are Not being honest about what Original was.

There was only one supplier, no way for a volume of 20k a year was there a second supplier so staples were it, at least until late November '65.

I made a mistake in saying mine where stapled when in fact they are riveted, i replied while working and going off my memory
