Gernot and John,
Forget about the asbestos putty, it is a substance not to be taken lightly,
if you even find somewhere to buy it. I used an expoxy to simulate mine and
the color was even real close. It's been on the car for 6 years now and
about 30,000 miles and still looks new.
Best regards

<< Gernot,
Thanks for the reply.. I do remember about some asbestos putty, from
helping my father around furnaces, many years ago.
I will try to find a source.
For now I have scraped it off and repainted. It looked bad and was
falling off
Thanks again
John
