Grill gasket
While cleaning my 49 grill ,around the headlights there was a gasket,looked like fabric,pretty sure it is original,dont see any vendors carrying one. What have you done? thought about using inner tube cut and glued,thoughts???

I don't like fabric, even the tarred variety cause it can absorb moisture. On the 48 F1 I put my body panels together using silicone caulk - including the headlight panel, but I painted panels before assembly.
Paint won't stick to silicone tho, so I wouldn't suggest it if painting after its assembled.

Bill, I think you might have what he was asking about. With all the discussion about grills on the other thread, I thought first about the grill to fender, not the headlight buckets.
I used the normal gasket under the headlight bucket that Bill is referring to.
