JK510 Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hi, I'm currently stripping down for a rebuild and looking to source bits I might need for when I put the car back together. Is there a source for the rear gaskets that sit between the taillights and the body? As you can see from the image mine are a tad perished...! Thanks, JK 1 Quote Link to comment
Payco Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) I bought some self adhesive rubber draught excluder and re made all of mine. I had to rebuild all my lights on my SSS when I had them re chromed. Had to make up 24 new bolts which I cut to size and re house as the current ones were shot. I now have as good as new lights.

The inner gaskets on mine are still useable and the bolts are too, it is literally the gasket between the lights and the body. one is completely gone, but one could possibly be used as a template.....? 2 Quote Link to comment
Payco Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 you can buy gasket corking in sheets in the UK. Make a template and cut them from that would be the way I would go. 1 Quote Link to comment

nad015 Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Datsport used to sell these or still do. they were made out of neoprene I think. would also probably be easy to make your own out of neoprene around 6mm I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Datsport for sure has these still. But you can make them just as easy as mentioned. Neoprene foam. 1 Quote Link to comment

RandyWanger Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 JDM Coupe lights you can buy the gaskets in-between the plastic and metal. I have some new somewhere in a box. Plastic to body, not available yet but I know someone working on a set. ROW lights, Datsport sell them and I read somewhere there is a V6 rocker cover gasket you can use (found it: FEL-PRO VS50086R VALVE COVER GASKET SET (VS50086R)) Quote Link to comment
