Fender / Wing gasket
Dale - 9/1/16 at 07:32 PM

Hello
I have seen what they call tadpole gasket used between the standard fender and the chassis where there is a 90 deg angle between the parts. What I am looking for is a a rubber seal to be used between the chassis and my rear fenders which are in the same plane as the chassis, as they form a continuous smooth line. I dont know if there is a "T" shaped gasket that would fit tight over the two pieces but i don`t want them to stick up too much as I want it smooth. Also the part transforms from in plane to maybe a 15 deg up angle at the tops of my fenders.
Any Ideas.
Thanks
Dale

Austin Healeys used a gasket like that as the body was aluminum and he outer fender were steel.
Being on this side of the pond you may want to try Moss Motors USA.
Our bug eye sprite has a metal piece between the body and outer fender that is welded in.

I am heading to Montreal in a few weeks for a sales meeting, I believe one of my colleagues is from Ontario, if you really want some of this wing piping, you could get it delivered to me, here in the UK and i could bring it across to at least Montreal and possibly Ontario. just let me know if that will help.

IIRC I used this or very similar on the rear wheel arches of my MK Indy. IIRC Woolies will post to the US for you as well - worth a phone call to see.

ETA...I made small cuts in the flat section to allow it to curve round the arc of the wheel arch.
