AM/FM Seal Or Replacement

[gean235]

Anyone possibly know where to purchase a replacement seal or seal material for the AM/FM Antenna on a 1973 Safari Land Yacht? It is a little less that 3" in diameter with the center punched out for the antenna itself and has 3 smaller holes that accommodate the retaining screws. I would like to get identical or close to same material. Hours of searching our forums and the internet were nor successful for me.

You can get bulk (rolls or sheets in various thicknesses) rubber gasket material from the auto parts store or even Home Depot but they may have it in large sheets. Make a template from cardboard. Home Depot sells a nice hole punch set to make varios size holes for the screws or just sharpen the lip on a piece of tubbing and make your own. You should consider a sealant on the face of the rubber gasket - somthing like parbond or siliflex sold at your RV center.
