wrong thing to say snw will never leave you alone ever again and they will probably change you from registered user to confused-emo-polak-redneck or something like that

yeah, they sell sheets of gasket that you can cut out to fit what you want to use it for, i got one on my oil pump right now works perfect there so im sure it will work as a tail light gasket. i might actually have a couple spare gaskets for a 280z if thats what u want. i know i have a couple spare tail lights any ways... im pretty sure.

yeah where do you get the sheet gasket? I pulled my tail lights to check for rust and they are 100% rust free!!! heck ya... But the gaskets were sooo dry rotted that they just crumbled.

go to home depot or lowes and go to the carpet or floor covering area. They have 2' wide floor runners that are closed cell floor mats. Use the old gasket as a template.

Hey man...www.BlackDragonAuto.com has them for $14.95 a piece. (for the 280z '75-'78) I don't think you are going to beat that. That is a good price..I think.
