I need to source wiper bezel gaskets, that odd oval rubber gasket with a tiny lip that sits under the cover on the wiper wheel post and keeps at least a little of the damp out. Have checked the usual suspects - Barratt, Welsh, Terry's, Everyday Jag, and fleabay without success. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks, Richard

PS: Yanking the soaked mat out of the driver's side split the accelerator pedal at the hinge seam.
Sheesh, you'd think 42 year-old rubber would hold up better.

 

search the forum, someone found them last year.

 

Well, I didn't exactly find them, but I found something close. See the link below for where I got them. They are for an XKE and I was hoping they would fit. Their oval shape was just a bit too long. So I cut them width-wise using an X-acto blade to the appropriate slightly smaller size, then glued them back together with Q-Bond (GREAT STUFF!). Job done!

Products

 

I found a "wiper escutcheon seal" at Barratt that corresponds to the factory part no., C5522R. They label
it as suitable for Ser.II XJ. So I ordered 2 and we'll see if it works.

 

You can also try those for MG-B and Triumph for the same years. I was told British Leyland parts were used in many marques.

 

Just an update; the SNG Barratt part is a perfect match to the factory original, including the formed lip around the edge.
FactoryP/N C5522R

 

so they don't have the part but they do?

 

My initial search was flawed; once I had an original part no. I found it.
One vendor who shall remain unnamed replied it was never available separately. I knew that was incorrect,
although my info on that was decades old. The illustration @ Barratt left a lot to be desired, but the application list said it was correct,
and it is.
Lesson learned? Search, and research, harder

 

Almost surely he was thinking of the Series III cars when he said that...in which case he would've been correct. For those, the gasket sold as part of a repair kit, RTC2881
