| Post subject: | exterior gasket renew |
putting a high mount stop light on the 83 D-150 the gasket from the pick a part one that I am using,, had good flexability, but had a fair amount of deterioation on the edges,, a lot of pin holeing. The only way I could find a new gasket was to buy it as part of the base assembly that also contains the bulb housing,, that was more that I wanted to spend.. I took about a table spoon of black RTV,, mixed in about a teaspoon of mineral spirits, to make a thin paste and brushed on two coats using a small paint brush.. I even re made some of the egde detailing that had weathered away. the gasket retained good flexability,, the paste mixtured did dry out to be more grey than black,, so I shot a thin coat of SEM flexable plastic spray to finish it off. looks OK,, I'll see how it holds up.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/13718356@N ... 413364659/ |
