I did a search, but may not have used the right terms so please be kind.. Anyway, took the left front fender {in the USA} or wing if you will {in the UK} off to address a massive undercoating mess. Glad I did as I found a plastic gasket between the wing and the sill that had been riveted to the sill. Is this a correct part? I looked at the diagrams and didn't see it. Anybody use something specific at this junction? I'm thinking about using some thin, very thin, butyl tape to act as a seal...seam sealer proper will harden too much and silicone sealers can contain acids that attach the paint and steel. Thanks for opinions and input....progress is being made |

The non corrosive gasket is there to keep the wing and rccker separate so that any moisture will drain off, having it sealed creates a rust prone area. Same as the rear wing dogleg. |

The GTs and I would guess some of the '75s had that plastic piece, but the earlier cars did not(not sure what the VIN # that started on) |
