The Dodge Challenger Message Board

I can't seem to find anyone who sells 1970 tail light gaskets and the back-up light gasket. Year One and Soffseal sell the tail light gaskets, but not the back-up lens gasket.
Any ideas guys?

Try Layson's restorations.
Looks like they might have some in stock
I think this link will take you right to the home page.
If not they have an easy search system.

On the left, click catalog,Put in model= Challenger, then year=1970, then
part search put=gasket.
The page with the gaskets your lookong for SHOULD? pop up.

gasket materials from
http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/misc.html

it comes in the kit used for repainting the vehicle. got the set myself. the gaskets dont fit perfect seem a little sloppy especially the side marker gaskets.

I got the Paint gasket set already, but that only gives you the bezel-to-body, not the lens-to-bezel gaskets.
I've searched Laysons and they only list Tail Light Bezel-to-Body Gaskets.
Neil, I could cut them myself but it's around 3/8" wide. (My hands are not that steady)!
I can't believe they are not being made somewhere?

stay off the beer then

Why not drop ebay member "lorettafillmore" a mail? This is what he says in an ebay ad:

This is a set of painstakingly duplicated, laser cut, OEM style material taillight gaskets for your 1971 Dodge Challenger. The white taillight housing to body outer gaskets are 3/8" thick bubbly, white foam just like OEM. The inner gray housing to lense gaskets are also made from the same material as the original gaskets, 1/8" thick gray rubber foam. Don't settle for the crappy fitting, aftermarket, diecut gaskets made by people that "specialize" in Chevy gaskets. These gaskets LOOK and FIT PERFECTLY! See our feedback.

I will be making gaskets for all of our Mopar muscle from 66 to 74.

Well spotted Christer!
I gave up searching, took Neils advice and decided to cut my own. I bought a sheet of gasket material from Year One, had several beers, put a new blade in my craft knife and went for it! It came out perfect!

If I may add a comment, Don't tighten the fasteners too tightly. If things are not straight the lens will snap. Work your way around the frame and lens gently then leave it be.

Hope this helps ,

Jon

Almost like beeing lazer cut, right? Speaking about the devil, lorettafillmore has now a kit ready for ´70 Challengers (See pic). He is asking $35 for it, in case anyone else is intrested. (See http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... AMEWA%3AIT )

Good point, Jon. VERY easy to overtighten the nuts. Keep the whole deal level or it will break.
