The hood windlace (seal between hood and cowl) needs replacing on my '41 and I'm considering what to use as a replacement. The original is a fabric strip with a wire inside. The original type is available in parts catalogs, as well as a rubber type that was apparently used on the '46's. I'm not a stickler for sticking with original and want to use what would work best. What have other people found to be the best thing to use?

It's less a "seal" and more to keep the painted surfaces from rubbing. My personal preference is to use the original type material. That's what I did on my '38.

I took the easy way out & used a self adhesive foam weatherstrip product ...about 3/4" wide x 3/16" thick.
