Topic: 1948 fresh air heater question

  I am working on a 48 coupe with the fresh air heater. There is anti squeak material around the perimeter of the air intake and between the cross brace and the hood. Mine is completely gone. Was it a felt material, compressed fiber material or rubber. I also would like to know how thick it may have been. Also does anyone have an idea where to get the round rubber seal on top of the heater blower housing. The photos are from a show car I saw at Hershey. Thanks for the replies.

  Apparently no one knows about these since it was a one year only design plus no one has responded.

  As I recall that seal was rubber similar to the door seal rubber(foam type). I think Dennis Carpenter or Drake had it at one time.
