Going to be buying them soon for my 42. I am familiar with Steele rubber products are there any other manufactures of same quality.

I just put all new in my 47 and used Steele fit was very good and quality seems very good. I have used some of the cheaper in the past and was not satisfied.

I am not aware of other quality mfg's but sometimes if ordering from one of their vendors you may save some $$$. It could be free shipping or perhaps a discount on a certain dollar amount or an item that the vendor stocks and has it at an older lower cost and is willing to deal on it.

Thanks Dens and Steve for your replies. Steele's products are top notch but man are they pricey. Awhile back I ran across another US mfg. on the internet and now I can not find them. They boosted of the same type of quality and rubber compounds as Steele does. Prices were a little more down to earth.

Not sure of Metro Molded is still making rubber parts. Might search the internet for them.
How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!

Hi Steve the place I was thinking of is called "Rubber The Right Way" they only mfg two dimensional parts. Door gaskets and the like are Steele products mostly with a discount like you said. I actually found them being sold by Steele on Ebay for less than the discount offered by the re-sellers.
