1953 Willys Aero Falcon weather striping

Hi. Does anyone know where I can get the weather striping that goes around the doors and trunk and maybe the little hood bumpers ?

Here's a link to a forum thread for hood bumpers & cowl seals: http://kfclub.com/forum/index.php/topic,8607.msg40099/topicseen.html?PHPSESSID=8eb2698960c4cda713aeefbeea18a71c

Here's a link to the only US company that stocks anything rubber for the Aero. I have no idea how the universal seals fit. https://www.metrommp.com/index.cfm?f=product_list_for_vehicle&search_year=1953&search_make=WILLYS&search_model=AERO&search_submodel=

Here's a link to reproduction Aero rubber in Brazil. Trunk & door gaskets seem to have the correct "C" profile and fit my trunk well. So dense & cushy I had to adjust my trunk latch up for a week or two till it took a "set", and then down to correct adjustment. Haven't done doors yet but from what I've been told, half latch a while on doors, then full latch after they have some time to conform. Bing or Google translator is needed to search Mercado for Aero Willys parts (not willys aero) Be careful with your search/purchase as most Aero parts listed are for the later model Aero. You need 1960 to '62 parts (our '55 model). This is a full kit but rubber pieces are also listed separately, always for 4 door only. A roll for a 4 door is more than enough for a 2 door. PayPal is rarely used but Xoom works and is easy to set up. https://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-714331950-borrachas-kitjogo-aero-willys-1960-a-1962-bolinha-_JM?searchVariation=29024926149&quantity=1&variation=29024926149#position=2&type=item&tracking_id=e66d89d4-3571-4132-94fa-79c1903174dc
