Anyone know where you can buy the 1/2" rubber striping material that is stapled to the inner fender to prevent squeaking when rubbing in the frame areas of the wheel well?

: Inner fender rubber insulation strips Tom Lasater May 4th, 00, 7:45 PM There was a post on this topic not too long ago, and Von had an excellent suggestion regarding your question. He used silicone if I remember correctly, run a bead of black silicone, let it set up, then install the inner fender. Who would know but you? You can't see it that's for sure! It sure won't trap moisture like the factory stuff did. ------------------ 69 SS396 69 Malibu Ragtop 70 Monte 72 El Camino Team Chevelle Gold #33 ACES Member #02913 Chevelle Club of Michigan Rode shotgun in the ONLY Z16 convertible made.

Let it dry before installing the i.f. I thought the rubber was there to eliminate squeaks. ------------------ von '69 300 Dlx SS TC #15 ACES #1575 mr409 May 7th, 00, 6:00 AM You could make your own if you have a friend that does rubber roofing. Just snatch a piece of the rubber material from him and cut your own and staple it in. ------------------ Bob (Pa.) 1963 Impala 283 1966 Chevelle SS 409 1969 Malibu 307 1972 Malibu 307 1969 Chevy stepside 350 Check out my website: Bobs 409 Chevy Page (http://members.spree.com/entertainment/mr409/bob_s_409_chevy_page_index.html) Looking for Chevelle or Impala parts?

When I bought my car the rear was raised and the 275/60s where on 10" rims with no backspacing. Under load, the tires would get rubbed when a bump was hit.... would eventually have popped them. As a quick fix at 5:00a.m. I cut some fuel hose in two 1 foot sections. Then sliced it length-wise. It fit right on the outter fender lip. Screwed tight with the existing screws and a washer. after the trip a good portion of the rubber was warn. boy was I lucky http://www.chevelles.com/forum/cool.gif | ||
