Was a rubber gasket used at the ends of the headlight bar to the fender on a 32? No info on it in the "32" book.

A rubber pad under the headlamp bar was never released by Ford for 1932 production. The pad is a creation of aftermarket parts suppliers. Check the period archive photos that show a close up of the the cars when new. The perimeter ridge on the reproduction pads are not visible in any of them.

Thanks, there was never one on the car, never remember seeing any and since there was no mention/picture in the 32 book, I just wanted a third confirmation.
