When my Darrin was first restored 30 years ago the owner used plain profile rectangular sponge rubber on the door, trunk and hood seals.  On the doors he used about 1 inch wide by 1/8 thick. On the hood opening edge and the trunk lid he used about 3/4 inch wide by 1/8" thick. I suspect that was used as that is what was readily available 30 years ago. Does somebody have originals left to show what the material, shape and sizes actually were when they left the factory? Thanks.
