Have a look on the Danchuk website for 55-6-7 Chev ones, reckon they would do the job

Thanks Blacky - they are pretty similar to what the wiring guys have done minus the grommet that goes into the bucket - I might just try and save the grommet and use heat shrink over the wires - funny how this one rubber was overlooked by rare spares

Sorry I gave credit to John but should have gone too ehsv6 - thats the correct tube set I wanted

Went to Rares and apparently it's not included in the full rubber kit - why they could not answer so if you want them need buy separately for 42$ a pair.
Has only been an option for past 6 months apparently - good to see they are thinking of us.

Reason I wanted them is they do provide a very good water seal into the bucket

Thanks everyone.

My thanks as well. I’ll be grabbing a pair.

I’m not sold on lashing out on the rubber kit myself. I prefer to get the bits I need as I need them. Some bits can be reused but it depends if you want the car to look brand new, or are happy with maintaining the old car appearance as I am.

Yes I went the full kit as mine were pretty much destroyed from 50+ years of mid NSW heat and dust - none survived the removal process so it was the simplest choice - the only part I may not use is the screen rubbers as the installer seams to prefer the competitors version
