Title: Steering Column to Floor seal for a P10
Post by: Bob R on April 07, 2010, 02:12:58 AM
I am  almost to the cowl stage on the '40 wagon and need the Steering Column to Floor seal. Mine is almost good enough for a pattern...anyone know of someone reproducing them?

The pic is from a '39, but the shape is similar. (https://www.plymouthowners.club/talk/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv249%2Frlr3%2FBnriOQCGkKGrHqYOKiwEtlsD2h2cBLluvfn.jpg&hash=a924d32be24b58a27b5dec888b0fea3e15ab9989)

Thanks!

Joel Blackman, from CA. was a few years back.
He was selling both the black and the brown. His manufacturer started to fool around with the brown shades, and they had a falling out.
Since then, Joel has sold his P-12 vert, and is no longer "Plymouth active"....

I tried Steele... no luck. Do you have contact info for Joel? There are other P10 owners I know who would be interested.
thanks
Bob

Until u find the correct seal, u could make one out of a piece of leather from Tandy.  get some 10 -12 oz leather, cut it out with a jigsaw, and maybe contact cement two pieces together so the smooth side is out, and dye it what ever color u want.  Leather is a very durable material and works well as a seal.  May even outlast some rubber products.  I have some harness that is several decades old and still good.

Please try, Kerr Rubber Parts for Steering Gourmet. Phone 1-800-955-5277. Ask for John. I spoke with him several months ago. I was looking for a steering column draft gourmet for my 1939 Plymouth. He indicated that he had reproduced a 1941 steering gourmet and had one on hand. He may make you one. I hope that I have been helpful. "Good Luck"

Bert,

You may email me directly, and I'll then forward you his phone number. I do not wish to simply post it.
Thanks.
