robche Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Hi all.... I'm refitting my headlamps and need a new gasket that sits between the hooded chrome bezel and the body. I don't see them listed on any site :(Can anyone help?Part 11 in this diagram : https://www.canleyclassics.com/triumph-herald-1200-headlamps-sidelamps-tail-lamps-and-number-plate-lampsCheersRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robche Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 hm.. OK so the part I pointed to is actually the bowl sealing rubber (I have that)I have an additional rubber between the bowl and body - I'll try and get a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitumen Boy Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I know the part you mean. If they're not available I doubt they'd be hard to cut your own from sheet material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robche Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 Cheers Dan I've just spent hours making gaskets for my sidelights out of neoprene foam but I can't find any rubber sheet. Needs to be about 4 mm thick looking at the old one, any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robche Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 I wonder if this would fit... ? http://www.racetorations.co.uk/triumph-c56/tr2-c3/tr2-electrical-instruments-c21/headlamp-cowl-seal-p898 or this.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Headlight-Rubber-GASKET-SEAL-for-1-side-on-Triumph-Herald-948-Saloon-1959-61/332255612319?hash=item4d5bfa4d9f:g:Ln4AAOSwDDxa7B7O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paudman Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Don't be misled by the pic in that lower eBay listing; it's actually two different seals - the bowl seal and the rim seal. You'll need to buy two sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitumen Boy Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Quoted from robche- Cheers Dan I've just spent hours making gaskets for my sidelights out of neoprene foam but I can't find any rubber sheet. Needs to be about 4 mm thick looking at the old one, any ideas? Have a look on fleabay, I've often found it a good source of similar sheet materials in small quantities.

marktheherald Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I've just successfully done this.. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00MUO7RSC/ref=pe_3187911_185740111_TE_item cut out the centre hole after marking with dividers or similar. Mount the rim plate with the incomplete gasket to the bonnet then fit the chrome surround. use a white marker to show where to cut the outline. Dismantle, cut with sharp stanley knife and jobs a good 'un. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robche Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Great, thanks @M.A. Powell! I'm on it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scimher Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 How about using an old inner tube as rubber gasket material - some big vehicle tubes were of quite thick rubber... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
