Source for proper OAI foam seal for 69 H/O?

Does anyone have a source for a proper-looking "3-sides skinned" OAI foam seal for a 69 H/O air cleaner? The last time I got one (about 10 years ago), I remember hitting quite a few places before finding a good one at Year One. After a month plus of backorder, the one I ordered from them showed up today only to be a single-side skinned version, just like the 70-72 seals are. While that may very well last longer, it just won't look right. Anyone???

Have you checked with Fusick? Or maybe Supercars Unlimited?

Fusick had the wrong kind 10 years ago (I bought one and sent it back), and they still do. Haven't dealt with Supercars Unlimited. Their site doesn't have a photo, so I just dropped them a note. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yep, I've been looking as well and agree like you, the original was 'coated' outside/inside & top... do not know about the bottom but can only assume why not?

Lately the ones I've been seeing are not 'long' enough so that when you put them into a 'circle' they do not or cannot extend to the proper outer circumference of the air cleaner 'top can'.

I have a couple REM manufactured seals via Year One that I'll have to make do with for now. I haven't measured or fitted one yet, but I may experiment with the second one to see if I can find some spray that will work ok. I wonder how a thin coat of bedliner might work??? Got a feeling the heat will cause issues with anything that stays flexible. Project for a later date...
