Does anyone repro these? Been looking all over, have not found them.
Just wondering if I'm going to have to make my own.
Thanks, Lancer

I used the insulating foam that you can get at Home Depot for weather stripping seals. I believe that this was a 3/4" square foam. I glued it on to the fender with the 3M black weatherstrip adhesive.
So far it has worked out really well.
This isn't factory correct if you are wanting that but it does work.

If, you look closely at the originals, I believe those were made from inner tubes. I am going to attach mine with very short round head screws.

Just curious, what was the original purpose for them?

Make A Template From The Original And Transfer To An Inner-Tube. Then Use Stainless Wire Threaded Through The Staple Holes To Fasten To The Firewall............

These seals are to help keep flying objects such as mud and water from coming into the engine compartment from the wheels.
