55 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

I just finished, well almost, cleaning and repainting my instrument cluster but now I'm looking for a gasket that goes between the bezel and glass. It looks like its 1/4" high density foam. But the bezel looks like it can take up to 1/2" gasket.
Any suggestions or recommendations would be helpful.

I think MidFifty sells them.

I used foam weatherstripping.

I was thinking of that. What size did you use?

I am not sure but I think I split one in half to get the right thickness.

Foam cuts very easily with a new single edge razor blade...get it close and then trim to size.
