Title: where to buy rubber gaskets for rockers
Post by: gCracker on March 03, 2008, 12:34:14 AM

I want to put a rubber gasket behind my new rocker guards, but really don\'t want to pay $25 for the stuff 4wd.com sells here (http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx?partID=3255)

Any one have an idea where to buy something similar?

what size are the two pieces you need, we have rolls and rolls of it that scrap gets thrown out at work, ill try to get you some.... its like orange in 1/16\" to 3/16\" ish thicknesses.....  


also i wonder if spraying that sound deadening ruber undercoating onto the rocker gard backs would do the job too- just a thought...

edit:
Link shows 6\"x62\", ill see what i can find

cool thanks.  Yeah I thought about the spray on stuff too, my only concern there would be spraying it unevenly and creating pockets.

your probably right, pockets for water to find a way in and rot you out....
