Buy the rubber gasket material and cut your own. Restoration Specialties and Supply of Pennsylvania sells the stuff in rolls.

Ya, I might have to do that but the original has a bead around it and would look so much better.

Those rear fins and pads come in different lengths and curvatures, depending on whether the car is a 2-door or a 4-door, a Riviera sedan or a regular 4-door sedan, a Special or a Roadmaster, etc., etc., which is why they are not reproduced--too many variations and too little demand. So, make your own or good luck in finding a set that fits or is even available.

DJT-Steele has a beaded edge universal mounting pad rubber 2 1/8" wide sold by the foot-Part # 70-0019-52 which would enable you to make a custom formed pad of any size.I've used this and another mounting pad rubber with a flanged edge to make lots of mounting pads in past.
