    Templates required please...

     



    Hi guys, I have been assembling the A and have come accross an interesting issue. Most of the items I have purchased over time have not come with gaskets. What I am talking about is the small cardboard or cork items that go bettween the panelwork and the item. (door handles, door locks, headlight staunchions, taillights etc) My question is, is there a site out there that has these templates I can print off and use to make a template for a gasket...?

    Thanks heaps,
    Web.

    For what they cost, i'd just buy new ones and be done with it...but this is of course just my opinion. I was just looking at the link below for things such as the rubber pad thing that goes between the outside doorhandle, and they are $3 for both. Radiator pads are like $2.75, and the rubber "stoppers" for the door are $3 each. For next to nothing, you can have it shipped to your house in a few days, pre-cut, pre-made, and ready to go. Probably cheaper than a couple pairs of holepunches. If they were not available, it would be time to get creative, but not when they are so cheap and accessable.

    Thanks for your help guys, ended up just using an old breakfast cereal carton and some soft very thin insertion rubber, looks good too. (if I do say so myself ) I think for any more I will do the same. Takes a while, but hey, we got buckets of "whiles" hey guys.....????
