1967 hood ledge weatherstrip

[Hank H.]

Looking for some help in locating a source for a 67 hood ledge weatherstrip. Manual says weatherstrip extends about 3" down each side toward front on hood which would make it end just about even with the bottom of the hood spring latch.

It seems that at least some reproductions are short and end just below the push in rivet hole. For example, the one I just removed. Anyone know of a source for a correct length reproduction, or nos? thanks, Hank

Hank,

Whatever you find, remember not to attach it with (as Michael Gill says) Gorilla Snot out of a tube. Barry Blocher sells brushable wxstrip glue. I use it and it looks and works great.

Thanks Mark-great reminder! In fact the one I removed had been put on with the Gorilla Snot. Can you point toward how to reach Barry? thanks again.

Yup...page 18 of the just delivered Driveline, center column.

It says, Contact Barry @ 260-982-4991 or bablocher@frontier.net

He'll even give you tips on how to apply it.
