    Do reproduction taillight gaskets for the Comet Taillights exist?

    When removing them on my car, i have found the remains of two different ones. One between lens and housing, one between taillight and rear body panel.

    Is there a source for these gaskets?

    Not that I am aware of. Mine appear ok but a bit flattened and a bit brittle. They would probably be ok but I don't want to reassemble and find out I was wrong. I figure I have a few options, a thin coat of gasket maker on what I have or getting some material and cutting my own. or combo it and make my own and a thin coat of gasket maker to ensure no leaks. It appears to be a thin closed cell foam. something like the wrapping foam for shipping. If I can find it thick enough.

    the wrapping foam thing crossed my mind, too.

    i think i can get at least one each of the gaskets off without damage, so i might just as well put them on a scanner an make a template for you all!
