    Hi All,

    I am in the process of repainting the dash metal and doing a complete refresh of the entire dash. The car is a 70 GSX withOUT A/C but with the kick panels with ventilation. I have the kick panels out and I need to replace the vent flapper seals as they are old and worn and torn. These seem like they are a faom rubber and they appear to be installed by sandwiching them between the two metal flapper plates using rivets.

    I have searched and searched and searched this board for the correct seal kit part numbers and a vendor to order them from. I also searched OPGI, Year One, SS396 and I can;t find anything that seems like the correct parts.

    Can some PLEASE point me in the right direction? I am VERY close to being done with this project but finding this seal kit id driving me NUTZ!

    Also, if there is ANYTHING else I should replace or overhaul while I have the complete dash disassembled PLEASE tell me so I can "Do it Right and Do it Once!"

    Thanks!!!

    I just called: The Parts Place, OPGI, Year One, Obsolete Chevy....they don't have anything :Dou:

    Anyone know where to get these? Here's a picture of the parts that I need the new seals for...

    There is a guy on e-Bay that sells those kits.

    Paul,

    Where should I look on eBay? I just went through a "Buick GS" parts search and didn't find anything. Should I do a different type of search... for Chevelle?

    Thanks

    I have seen them in the Olds searches.

    Search under "442"

    Paul,

    I looked through all the listing at the link you provided and dod not find the vent door seals. The seller seems to offer a bunch of items and I emailed them asking for the correct parts. There is mention that they can make parts if you send them originlas for templates. I'll let you all know what I discover.

    Thanks for the help!
