looking for where I can buy a half dozen 4 5/8" round 1937-'39 dash glass gaskets... anyone bought any lately ? thanks.
Not sure where you can get em but you might try a place like this. https://www.ronellclock.com/Convex-Glass_c62.htm
got something similar made recently for 38 chevy pu speedo.local firm,old fashioned.no job too small while I waited in two different thicknesses.original was crusty.didnt want to take the chance on breaking the curved glass.cut from rubber sheet.
I just cut them myself from cork or paper gasket sheets with a sharp stanley knife. Keep your fingers behind the blade just for safety sake. Obviously you take the diameter from the glass or chrome ring.

think I will try and cut my own, but my gasket material is thin... I will cut them 2 or 3 at a time...pix if it works...
not as bad as I thought it would be...traced a CD, trimmed about 1/8" smaller than the disc... cut the inside about 1/4" from the outside... looks like it will work...
another way that i have done it in the past was with strip caulk [dumdum] rolled real thin or plumbers putty. works well, cleans up nice, seals and lasts a long time.
