S 1 rubber gasket for chrome wiper bezel

Hello,

I only need the 3 rubber gaskets in close-to-original quality. Does anyone know a source? Are these rubbers possibly identical to those of other vehicles from the 1960s?
Many thanks for your advice.

Re: 3.8 inlet manifold gaskets leaking

Hallo Christopher,

Retightening the nuts unfortunately did not help.

Re: 1961 brake cylinders disassembling

Hello Randall

Thanks. It worked. The internal sealing ring prevented removing the piston. Everything was freely movable on the adjustment rod area itself.

Early Dunlop master cylinders

Hello,

I would like to rebuild the three Dunlop Master cylinders. They are the very early ones with the small, narrow Dunlop lettering. The outer surface seems to be painted with black lacquer. Were the exterior surfaces originally painted or surface treated ?
Thank you for your help.
