Re: [FWDLK] '57 DeSoto gas tank

[Glenn Barratt <FURY@xxxxxxxxxx>]

While on the gas tank subject, does anybody know where to get a
replacement rubber for where the fuel pipe passes through the trunk
floor? I could not see one mentioned in Gary Goers' catalog.
Any leads appreciated.
Thanks.
Glenn.
57 Fury.
