Default Ford CMP truck- Front fender welting

Good Day,

Here are two close up photos of some original fender welting from my 1943 F-15A.
As discussed it has the cord sewed into the webbing material which I believe was impregnated with and anti-rust agent, Cosmoline perhaps?

I obtained a vinyl repro in Australia from Old Auto Rubber Co. They list it as mudguard piping in their catalogue. It is similar to what is shown in Owens UK link. The layers of paint on the original make it look almost plastic, so once covered in paint the new material will look very similar. See attached

Cheers,
