    I need the gaskets for my front turn signals on my 71 Maverick. Does anyone know where I can get them?

    I looked in their catalog and didn't see them. I heard no one makes them is that true?

    You can buy sheets of the thin, high density foam rubber from any good hobby store and make your own. They sell a rainbow of colors and sizes. I buy the grey and it looks just like the factory foam when done.

    Since it is in the light housing and can't be seen, if all you want is to waterproof it, you can use cork sheets too - no one will ever see it.

    ;)
