I am beginning the reassembly phase of the restoration of my 57 CdV and need the rubber gaskets for the air duct covers for my heater and A/C units. I also need the drain hoses that mount to these units. (For clarification, these blisters mount to the firewall on the left and right side. The left side blister for the heater has the vehicle information tag on top and the brake booster mounted to it. The right side blister for the A/C unit has the A/C blower mounted to it)
Does anyone know of a source for these gaskets? Or does anyone know of a source for the rubber gasket material so I could make my own? I tried Steele and Rubber the Right way with no luck.

Many thanks for any info you can provide.
