Anti Squeak.

Post by Matt »

Hi guys,

Can somone tell me what the anti-squeak material that goes between the fenders and cowl and fender and running board was/is made from? and does anyone know a source?

Thanks,

Matt.

The coated fabric used by GM is no longer made. I have 10' rolls of the later material, but have to update the price. It has a glossy black plastic coating. Approx a buck a foot until I get the latest cost.

Hey Matt.

I was looking at using lamp wick as I have found it hard to get hold of the wadding as well, I did see some on Ebay several weeks back but missed it :cry:

The Vinyl Coated is authentic, has correct size bead and web to install securely. Be careful, lamp wick will absorb moisture and give corrosion probs.
