 Regarding the duckbill drains, Kip Motors (kipkotors.com) has them
available (not cheap, but available!).  They specialize in Nash
Metropolitans, London Taxis, and Orphaned marques, one of which is their
burgeoning Sunbeam parts.  In addition to the duckbills, they are also
offering Series IV, V, and Tiger front marker lights that are complete
units, plus lots of other items.  Looking through their online catalog,
I did not see either item listed, but they are both relatively new to
the market.  Their phone number is on their webpage for specifics.

Happy hunting!

Any hardware store sells foam window insulation in 1/2 or 3/4 wide
rolls sticky on one side.  Wrap it around the core and you're  done.
Dont use adhesive to stick it to the bottom.  How would you remove  the
next time?

SS use to sell the gasket that goes under the bonnet latch.  If  not
make one.

Sorry no duckbill here.

quick  questions (didnt find an answer on TE/AE site):

(1) when re-assembling  the heater core, what kind of gasket/stripping
do folks use to plant the  core down against the base of the "box",
silicone rubber for heat  resistance?  can seem to find the right
stripping,  preferably self-adhesive.  should the stripping run around
the bottom  hole, and also up the back and top of the core (like in the
diagram on SS  web site)?

(2) for the rubber duckbill piece - is it best to install  this part
from within the car, or from the box the heater core resides  in?

(3) anyone hanging onto a spare duckbill they'd be willing to sell,
mine was cracked, hardened and shredded from the arizona  heat

thks!
