The dash pod seal on my '54 needs replacing as what hasn't disintegrated is rock hard.
Can anybody suggest what to use as a replacement? I couldn't find anybody doing repros (although Kaefer Nostalgie do felt earlier ones)
Cheers

I should have been clearer. The one I'm looking for is the one that goes round the edge of the instrument cluster.
Think I'll order one of the ones above as well though. |

its just a small felt strip, you could make your own, or spend $24 on this

| Hmm, all I recall are the felt and rubber. Can’t say I’ve ever noticed a cork version. If I did, I don’t remember it :lol: |

I don’t know why I said cork :)
Probably because I end Been cutting a lot of different gaskets lately. I meant switched from felt to rubber |

Ha!
I’m not really sure when the change was done unfortunately. My guess would be all buses have rubber and the felt was “pre bus” , beetle etc. but I have nothing but instinct to back that up. |

Kaefer Nostalgie list the felt seal as 38-52 so assuming the've done the research it's 53 for the rubber one.
Thanks for the link to the rubber repro. |

| My 53 has a rubber seal. I believe they were all rubber originally. |
