Title: Taillight housing gaskets
Post by: terry_208 on 2021-11-02 13:34
I've been looking for gaskets to mount the fender extension to the quarter panel.  What have others used in this area?  Where were they obtained?  I see Dennis Carpenter has the gasket between the reflector and the extension.

Thanks.

And be aware the Custom series is a different gasket than the Fairlane.

Thanks for the replies.  That's exactly what I was looking for as I have a Custom.  For whatever reason, I couldn't seem to locate them.

I bought the Fairlane ones and trimed them using the original Custom one as a template. I don't think Custom ones are being made.

I missed the "except".  I have been wondering about trimming the Fairlane gaskets to fit the custom.  I don't have the original gaskets but have made a template from the housing and quarter panel.  Thanks for the assistance.
