Seems the foam rubber, rectangular floorboard seals for a 36 are out of stock everywhere I have checked. Maybe no longer reproduced? Does anyone have any or know of a source, or an alternate solution?
Thanks!

I cut my own floor boards by using what was left of the old junk, then got some felt and stapled it to the edges, worked good

I used square sponge rubber sealer from a hardware store sold in a roll. I think it was intended to seal up leaks in old windows and doors. It came with glue on one side and a peal away strip of paper. I cut to length and glued to the outside of the floor boards. It came out decently, but probably not as nice as if I had the proper reproduction seals.

My friend Bob has these new in the package, that he mistakenly purchased for his '35.

If you are interested, PM me and I will give you his contact information. We are in Canada.

There's a difference between 35 and 36?

Looks to be 36 only from the vendors I've looked at. Seems there would also be a difference if a car had steel instead of plywood. So if Kirk's friend, Bob, has the '36 seals, maybe it's my lucky day.

That makes sense. I got a single side with a 35 sedan delivery basket case and had never noticed one before
