Jules,

Should there be a gasket that goes here? between the flange and the inside of the heater box? The one photo I have of showing this area when I was tearing it down seems to have one but I don't see it in my box of old stuff that came off during teardown.

Thanks for the info. Jules and the help. Can say this thing is finally done now. Had tons of things that kept coming up and getting in the way. I decided to go with one of Jules Motors so that it would have the correct plating and I'm glad I did. It is beautiful. Thanks to everyone for all the help. Never done won of these before and it wasn't bad at all.

The photo above gives you an idea of what it looked like. Here's the after. Thanks again everyone. Joe

Can you believe, when I took the heater box outta my car there were NO resto kits available for them. NOW looks whats happened. I created a new hobby for you guys

GREAT jobs all of you!

Works of art Jules. Works of art!

Does look like ther should be a gasket there. I have never seen one but bet heater cores could have been replaced in the couple boxes I used for refrence. I may make that one now.

Jim,
your gasket kits are just awesome.
They are truly the icing on the cake.
By the way I need to order some gaskets.
Can you please call me tomorrow?
Thanks
Jules

I think the gaskets would be better with clear self adheavsive backing on them like the originals.
I buy mine in a craft store.

You mean you get the adhesive backing in the craft store?

Couple reasons I don't put the adhesive backing on. The adhesive backing applied costs more than the foam material itself. Also there is a LOT of scrap. Mostly because I like to leave the scrap attached so the foam pieces hold thier shape. I did try the adhesive backing on some items I thought the spray on 3M 77 held better and was easier to reposition.
