Looking for something

I'm trying to find some of the rubber seal material that was used for the seals around the radiator and inner wheel well seals on my 65. It's like a corded single ply rubber.
I need to seal the big gap at the top and bottom between the radiator and the radiator support.
Anyone seen this product raw and uncut?

Opgi has the fenderwell seals. Yearone has the radiator. Could not find both at either source on line.

www.rubbertherightway.com has the frame seals. Give them a call maybe they have some or can point you in the right direction.

Contact member HAMM36 - he bought some rubber material that is just like what most of those precut repro parts are made of. I have some of it here that I got from him.
Of course you will need your old parts to be used as templates, and it does not have the reinforcing cords in it just like most of the repro parts.

If you know anyone that is involved with the shipping of rolls of paper on end, via transport truck, the rearmost rolls are sitting on sheets of that type of rubber which is used for the rad seals. The sheets are about three feet by three feet. I cut my own to fit. There is another type of rubber that is shredded stuff, then bonded and then thinly sliced and used the same as the other rubber, but not as good. These sheets prevent the rear rolls from moving around as they race down the highway.

I found it, it's called "cloth inserted rubber sheeting" I ordered a chunk of it on Amazon last night, it comes in about any size and thickness you could want.
I'm going to use it to add a radiator seal to the top and bottom of the radiator on my 65, don't get it why Olds would put seals on the sides and leave the top and bottom open, kinda defeats the purpose.
