where to get correct bumper deco strip base rubber? ('67)

[Silverbullit]

Well, 2 of our better known suppliers have sent repro deco base rubber, but the profile is not as original, it is a fair bit larger.
Has anyone sourced the correct deco base?

i bought several meters from joma parts in belgium. and i still wonder why got two different versions..one batch seemed to be a genuine porsche part (softer rubber and better surface quality)
tho other batch from the same order was slightly smaller as the original and it appears to me made out of soft plastic and not rubber--further i was not so amused about the grainy surface...i think since they have the exactly same assortment as stoddart has they have the same producer.

I found what I was looking for at International Mercantile. Absolutely perfect match to the factory piece.

International Mercantile figured this out recently and now has plenty of the right stuff. The larger base seal you get on repro decos are a carry over from the 356 decos, the manufacturer of the decos makes stuff as cheap as possible, made in Asia, so you can not expect the best from them.

I just installed the new deco base. Perfect stuff! Somebody got it right.
