[Spridgets] Hardtop door seals?

[Leo]

Bob, do you by chance have Bill Bolton's contact info?  I bought my seals
from him at least 6 years ago and stuck them away till this year when I
finally got to install them. I cant find his info as I looked today.

Thanks
Leo

Yes Bill has been the provider of period correct seals for the hard top.

At least a few years ago you could get seals that matched or were  
close enough, except for color, from JC Whitneys.  12DF6584T was the  
number for the windlace seals and 81DF248U was the number for the  
rear window glass seal.  A couple of letters or numbers (don't  
remember which, changed with every catalog that they printed but the  
rest of the number remained the same.
