Looking for fender rubbers

[creekrider]

Guys need some help. I did a search with no luck so here goes. I am in the process of restoring my 1970 M35A2 and I have the fenders off so I can paint the frame and fenders. Well there is a rubber piece that is about 3" wide between the radiator and the fender and mine our tore and dry rotted. Mine are riveted on. I would like to replace them but have had no luck sourcing them. Have any of you made any and if so what did you use?

Thanks
Creekrider

If I understand your description correctly than I think this is the piece you are looking for.

It goes between the headlight panel and the radiator. Eastern list them for $45 a piece.

Here's how to find them. ( I just did it and found several retailers and an ebay auction with them).

I looked at the -24P TM. Look for the picture with the part needed. Found them in the body section, under fender parts and associated items. Looked at the part number and NSN. Googled the numbers.

Easy peasy, japanesey...

Thanks for the -24P info DH. I had the -209-20P, -361-20P and -209-34P, 361-34P and none of them broke out that part under it's own p/n.

I believe this is what he's looking for;

NSN 2930-00-752-1981 part# 7521981 shield, radiator, L.H.
NSN 2930-00-752-1983 part# 7521983 shield, radiator, R.H.

The part shown in the pic is not the correct part, that looks like it would go around a radiator shroud for the fan. The pieces listed above are shaped like a piece of angle iron. They're not really "riveted" on, but they are held on by rivets and can be removed and put back on with a small flat screwdriver. You just have to stretch the rubber around the rivet post to get them off and on. I've cleaned up one of mine, it looks like it's split a little from the gap where the support for the grill goes through. I'm going to try to glue it from the back to support it with a piece of inner tube.
Google the NSN, there's some on Ebay.

I just bought a set from one of the e-bay sellers, expensive, but they seem to be the correct parts. None of the usual suppliers had them as of a month or so ago. I looked around a lot for someone who had even just the plain rubber angles, and I finally found one extruder who had the right die, but the minimum order was ~ $5000 !!

Yup, that's what I found, too.
