Hi Guys and Gals,
Wondering the best bulb seal to use and best outlets for purchase?
Thanks

McMaster-Carr 1120A56 is what identical to what FFR supplies.

I think you're missing the last digit - 1120A562
By the time I got back to my build, the FFR seal had aged beyond use, so I used this: https://a.co/d/83xqr9u

curious is this the same size as the stuff from Michael's replicaparts.com for the radiator shield?
I think I lost mine or use some of it for other parts...

If you're talking about Mike's nose aluminum, I've installed a bunch of them. The outer edge that is against the body uses the same but there is a smaller bulb for the edge that is against the radiator.

yep that's the stuff - thanks!! I'm pretty sure I have the flatter edge stuff against the radiator already
