Options
Bob & Pete,
Thanks for your responses.
A) As an option I was considering tar paper. It could be cut to width and would be waterproof at least. It would be easy and quick and readily available.
B) At the same time I have seen the "windshield type" material you have referred to. It is kind of like a duct seal and has a paper backing on one "sticky side." It too would work well but I wonder if it would be messy for future removal and if it would "sqeeze" out when the bolts were torqued down. It too would be waterproof.
C) I'm not sure about fender welt type material.
D) You could always use a gasket material of sorts like an RTV sealant "ultra black" or something of the like.
E) Does anyone know what the original material was anyway? Canvas?
Also - Bob did you buy your truck in Almonte? I am familiar with that area as I had a friend that lived there for a number of years but never did see a CMP there. Where was it located? I think I saw some CMP rims on a trailer in Almonte but that is quite common almost everywhere!
Let me know what you decide to use for your material ... I will probably follow suit.
Stewart
