Just kiddin,,the ones from the repro suppliers are about the only pieces iv had good luck with.
If youre going to make your own,,just make sure you use "closed cell" foam. It doesnt act as a sponge and hold water in.

I used the rubber gasket and it is much thicker and has no "give" later on. The thicker rubber will not let the top cowl vent close as tight. I have been meaning to actually change the rubber one out.
Edit: I notice your from Dripping Springs. We have another Bolter from there. If you don't know him stick around and he'll show up. | | |
