The Ford Barn - View Single Post - fender welting 1950 f-1

I have removed the fenders (all four) from my 1950 f-1 to make rust repairs. I noticed a recent thread about welting on a 1937 vehicle. I knew a previous owner of my vehicle had used caulk where the welting should have been and I intend to install beaded welting when I reinstall the fenders. I was surprised to see some kind of welting around the headlight buckets. It was deteriorated badly and I really can't tell what it is and have never seen any info on this material or what might be a source for buying it. From what I can tell from the scraps, it appears to have a weave in the fabric. Any info would help, thanks.
