Tell me when you find some. I had someone tell me to use aftermarket rubber from clarks rubber store and modify it to fit. Can' t buy original ones
from what I gather.

You should be able to cut down a good quality 67-67 seal and carefully glue it along the join at the bottom.

Good quality super glue will do a good job as long as the join is cut square and clean.

I thought oval seals do the job, been a while but you might want to sus that out. And use West Coast Metric, best seals available, life time warranty
IIRC.

I have a pair of nos seals not for sale. And I'm trying to find some seals to match for another 61 I have.
They are very different from the other models.
I will let you know how I go.
SORRY BOUT THAT!

thanks, yeah let me know how you go GASBNR.
Not sure on the oval seals....wouldn't they be too small??
Ive got the old set of seals from the 50/50's but they are pretty cracked and hard now days....but could work as a template for new rubber.
