I'm putting together the taillights of my '71 fastback, and I can't seem to find a source for the rubber caps that cover the connectors. Anyone have ideas for alternatives?
Thanks! _________________ ike

Thanks friends! It looks like the 71 (maybe some other years as well) had two different shapes. The top and bottoms (4 total) were one kind, and the middle socket (2 total) were what is being sold on the ISP's site. _________________ ike

I didn't have those caps on my '71 (past and present). But in dry California it doesn't seem to matter. |
