Hello, looking for a set of rubber mounting washers for rear tail lights.

We need eight washers for our current 73 restoration but would love a source to buy more for our upcoming 75 restore

Here are some pics of the originals that could be saved, and the schematic --#14


914Rubber: Mark is this a part you might want to make?

Thanks

I'd just sharpen the circumference on a short length of pipe and punch out what I needed from some sheet rubber?

Check the plumbing dept at the big box stores, I bet you will find something to work. That's where I found the rubber washers for the license plate brackets.

Yes these parts are simply made. Please PM me with the diameters.

Looks like Bruce has the answer no need to make these

Bruce has a good solution, but from an overall convenience perspective it would be great to sell these to customers in a set of "rubber washers" (license plate, fog light, horn, bumper, and tail lights).

Btw. Thanks Bruce, your solution will unblock me

Yes these are probably worth doing just to have it a complete kit. Sometimes you don't want to stop and have to fabricate something it can be obtained inexpensively.
