66 300 Reverse Light Gasket
- Thread starter Jimmyse23

You might use some thin, closed-cell rubber strips, with a little adhesive to hold the strips in place. Kind of like you'd find in the a/c section of Home Depot? Is there a cut-out in the lens casting for the "filter cigarette filter-type" dust filter on the bottom? Just curious.

If by any chance you have a spare assembly you could send to Jim, likely he'd be up for creating a gasket. He's insistent on having a unit so he can test fit his stuff before releasing it but always looking to expand coverage.
The "struggle" is NOT new. It was almost EVERY Chrysler Corp vehicle BEFORE the repro market got going strong in the earlier 1980s. BEFORE making a call and waving the magic plastic came to be.
With '57 T-birds, '55-57 Chevies, and most Corvettes, it was different as many things were either in repro or still made by the OEMs during that time frame. Yet even so, many GM parts now in repro "died a natural death" when sales for them decreased.

I have posted my new repro back up lamp gaskets on ebay for 6 months with no interest . I had DMT do a small run of these for my fleet of cars ,I also have the front turn signal ones for 66 300, steering column , tail light to body and many more NOS parts . I am so disappointed no one supports any repro stuff so I wont make any more . The mopar people are pretty mean on the money .

If you still have the gaskets for a '66 300, I would be interested in all of them.

DMT does have the pattern to make them. I sent him a backup light assembly to take measurements off of. Perhaps he doesn't realize that the '66 300 uses the same backup lights as a Newport, or else you were just looking on the DMT website. He has a lot of stuff that's not listed on the website because he doesn't update it very often. Call.
