LOOKING FOR '68 ONWARDS HOOD HANDLE SEALS THAT DONT SPLIT!..


Hey peeps..recently I fitted up my resprayed bonnet and put on the hood handle with new CLEAR Empi branded hood handle seals. After probably 6 weeks I have now gone through 3 sets of clear Empi hood handle seals because they are all splitting once done up tight. Can anyone link me to where I can find OEM quality or NOS hood handle seals in black or clear to suit a 68 bug onwards?.. Clearly the original fitment seals are made of a harder plastic compared to Empi ones..Help Please!..

Thanks guys ..was thinking WCM but dont know who stocks them..We used to have Veedub shops in Adelaide where you could walk in off the street and buy aircooled parts but these days all the workshops cater for later model Dubs and european cars probably cause thats where all the money is..
