moosens Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) Rather than the usual deal of finding a manufacturer this should be a project one of us could tackle ..... yes? Simple part. Find decent thickness material , make template , someone whip up a batch in their garage or basement,etc.. I'm thinking Earl might be inclined to work some magic. Yes?? Or would you rather find a shop to produce them?

moosens Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 I'm opening this up again.... Recently took possesion of a new complete tail light assy. with a fresh gasket. I have the pice to copy / make a template from ..... Stock looks to be neoprene. That'd work for me. Could make use of center cutouts with a few other neoprene vintage patch pieces I see in hidden corners , under carpets , etc. , if one of us does it. Also,right now there's another new t/l assy. on eBay from a seller in Israel. Not a bad price and shipping isn't too bad either. Comes with the same gasket,looks fresh too.

moosens Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Seems to be little to no interest. If a person gets some neoprene they can cut their own ..... last chance for replies if interested. Otherwise I hope someone grabs a sheet of neoprene and make a few sets for sale. Cheers.

bendecker Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I would definitely be interested! I'm looking into the idea of making a mold for the front running light gaskets as well. For the rear, side running light gaskets, I got some neoprene-like material from a local craft store, but the fronts will need some molded rubber to make them sit properly, I think. Anyone...? -Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendecker Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 A couple of other thoughts -- would it be possible for anyone with a good set could photocopy them and transfer that photocopy into a life-sized pdf...? That way, we could post the file and it could just be downloaded and printed. Also, I've had a bit of experience with die-cutting. That may be an option as well if the right material is available, a template is available, and enough people are interested. Might as well go whole-hog in that case and make dies for the side lights, running lights, etc. The molded gaskets like on the mirrors, etc. could be molded pretty easily with some rtv mold-making. Again, a good model would be needed. I have the mirrors and part of the light moldings. -Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 You know I looked into it and it was so expensive to set these up and I know that if I did I'd only get 2 or 3 people who would buy them then I'd be out a bunch of money so I scrapped the idea. I hope that some else finds a more cost effective way to reproduce them. I'll buy a few of them if they are produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found one in my garage as well that I forgot I had. I haven't had time to really look it over, but hope to do so in the next couple of days.

YellowSub Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 If anyone does make them, I'd be interested in a set. They wouldn't be really expensive, would they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78STI Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I will take a set if anyone makes them. I am in australia but postage should not be much for such a small item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
