Reproduction Hudson tail light parts?

Any Hudson guys out there? Is anyone reproducing the the rubber gasket that goes between the tailight lense and housing on a '49-'50.

 

Love those lights, if you cant find them would be easy to make your own

 

The original rubber had a channel running through it and wrapped around the perimeter of the lense. Can I buy that somewhere?

 

I don't know about your part specifically, but I'd check in Hemming's for Hudson parts guys. Also, there is a Hudson Fourm on the AACA site and you could ask your question there. (http://forums.aaca.org/f166/)

 

Thanks, just emailed both of those contacts.

John, I found those, too...but, those are the housing to body gaskets. I need the lense to housing ones. Appreciated, though.

 

This may sound cheesy but I just used some thin adhesive weatherstrip for mine. I cut it to fit. So far it has worked good.

 

Depending on availability and price...I may go that route.

Thought I saw some of those lenses or tailights on HEBAY recently.

 

Those are the housing to body gaskets. I need the lense to housing ones. Appreciated, though.
