    I am looking for the rubber for the front windsheild. Also I am going to use a one piece back gl*** and need it for that.

    Not having much luck finding it. Anyone have some good sources or a universal rubber company that I could use?

    Thanks in advance.

    Check with K-Gap, they had all of the rubber for my '37 project. They have a good website and sell a lot of Hudson restore parts, even decals.

    I just got some rubber windsheild seals from metro molded parts. They have a ton of rubber products for the car and universal. The website is very detailed and the parts arrived quick. Good luck
     
  4. K-gap x2 I also have a number for any Hudson part you'll ever need

    Google "Restoration Specialties And Supplies" in Penn. They have all kinds of rubber,both universal and brand specific,as well as any type of fastener you might need.

    Looked through K-gap catalog a few weeks back, and frankly, was disappointed in what I saw. Not what it used to be.

    The original owner died some time ago and I think his wife sold out the business.Pres & Jan(I think) were great and I visited their house/shop in 2003.They also had a great collection of Hudsons.
    I would check with the HET clubs.

    Universal windshield rubber in several forms should be available at your local auto gl*** shop or they can get it for you. The standard universal stuff is lock-strip most often seen on late 40s-50s-60s pickups.

    Seems as if their online catalog is broke or they have discontinued several items. I looked for the Hudson SuperJet backup lenses they used to carry and no go.:eek:
