Could anyone tell me where I could find replacement vent assemblies or how to repair mine. The seal around the doors are shot. I looked in some of my usual suppliers books and could not find any. Thanks very much. Any suggestions at all would be appreciated.

Since no one else else seems to have a suggestion, let me try, because I will have to do something with my vent door seals too. Get an idea of how thick the seal was originally and of what type of material. Then go to the hardware store or look in McMaster Carr catalog (they have a web site too) to try to find a similar material. Then cut & glue the replacements on with contact cement. Good luck.

Thanks Phil for your reply and your suggestions. Sounds like a good idea and I will try to come up with some type of material, hope your vent job turns out good also. Do you have a 66 or 67 ?
