    I believe the seal you are referring to is a foam type seal. You should be able to get them at Keen Parts. http://www.keenparts.com/pages/Catal...18525&choice=7

      I don't know if you can buy the seal separately, but Dr. Rebuild sells very accurate seal kits for just about all Corvette applications that originally used such seals. In my experience the kits contain every seal that was originally used for the particular application.

        Joe, I've been hunting for that seal as well if one exists. I looked at several cars and can't find one that has that seal. My 68 had all original seals but is missing that one if it really was there in the first place.
