Needing rear window vent rubbers
« on: April 21, 2012, 03:59:46 PM »
I need a set of rear vent window rubbers for my 54 Kaiser.  They're the same 51-55 with opening vents.  I do know the club has these in the manufacturing fund but I'm looking for an alternative.  Of course, I busted my old ones off BEFORE having a fresh set...bad idea.  Hope someone can help...I need these to get to the National!!!

Rudy has reproductions listed in  his 2010 Catalog. He likely still has them.

Hi Lowell.  Rudy has the left side only NOS, no right side.   :( Not sure if he or John Parker had these reproduced, but if so, he's "out of repros."  I know the last time I talked to him about the fronts (about a month ago), he was out of those too and was "uncertain about having them rerun." 

Fortunately, I bought a set from him about a year ago and put these on...they fit perfectly.   :) :) I sure hope he redoes the fronts, members certainly need them.

Thanks for the info Mike. Looks like I need an updated catalog. I figured you must've tried Rudy by now. Ray Frazier has a lots of parts yet if you  haven't tried him.

Lowell. I don't see to have a correct e-mail address for Ray...everything I try kicks back.  The one in the bulletin isn't right either. 

On another note, I was approached by an ex-club member 17xx?  this weekend at the Charlotte Autofair show from MN who owns a HJ.  I was wearing a "got kaiser?" shirt (reduces my verbalization with the parts vendors and minimizes laughter on their part) and he stopped my and said "I have a HJ"!  Sorry I didn't catch his name but he seemed to know of you; he said there wasn't much KF stuff going on in MN!?  He didn't seem humored when I said, "ever thought about moving?!"

Hi Mike, I don't have any more info on the part you're looking for but I did not see your previous post about meeting the member from MN. I don't know who that might be. Todd S has a couple of Henry  Js and he knows me well. He is an X-club member but had a very high number. Perhaps the guy was Jim Finn from Duluth? He still has a couple of Js if I remember correctly. Also, when I get home to my other computer, I'll see if I can find Ray's e-mail. The one printed in the ad was definitely wrong.
