51 Trunk Weatherstrip
« on: May 03, 2020, 01:06:42 AM »
Is there a supplier of replacement or OEM repro weatherstrip for the trunks of these cars?

Also, I note the manufacturing club has trunk handle gasket repros for every year but the 51...does anyone know of available 51 gaskets?

I purchased both from Rudy's KF Parts about 2 years. I don't know if he still has any.

Edgar Kaiser's custom 1951 Henry J
1951 Kaiser Special
1952 Allstate Deluxe

Thanks Fid!

Per Rudy's online catalog, though from 2017, he has both in stock, but I'll give him a call this next week to confirm.

And thanks for the suggestion Terry, but Steele shows brake and clutch pedal pads as the only items they have for a 51 Kaiser.
