Foam gaskets
Before I pay a million squids to get fresh ones imported, the taillight clusters on my car have what looks like high density foam gaskets between the units and the body.
Doesn’t look rocket science to cut, if I can find some suitable sheet. Internet searches flag up a gazillion options.
Anyone any idea exactly what it is I’m looking for and where I can buy a sheet big enough?
TIA as ever.

Re: Foam gaskets
2mm sponge rubber sheet off eBay would do the trick I reckon.

Re: Foam gaskets
Sponge rubber sheet sounds promising, but definitely more than 2mm. I’ll measure up tomorrow, but I reckon 5-6mm.

Re: Foam gaskets
Blimey, that’s a damn sight cheaper than getting the real thing!
Excellent stuff, thanks Blue!

I've used DMT before if you get stuck. Very good

Re: Foam gaskets
You will need a sharp blade to cut out the gaskets and if you are anything like me, mind your fingers

Re: Foam gaskets
Ah, gotcha.
No cutting needed, ordered the correct gaskets in the end.

Re: Foam gaskets
FFS, just went to check the link you sent and it’s exactly where I got them from.
Cheers Steve.

Re: Foam gaskets
From memory, a good guy to deal with. Looks like his business has taken off. When I ordered rear tail light gaskets for my Fury the guy was laser cutting them in his spare time from originals used as patterns. Good company to have in the contact list.
