        Peter, we have most of what you need. The rubber sleeves for the rear hatch both left and right: <http://www.frankcondelli.com/staging1/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=61_68_105_132&product_id=755 <http://www.frankcondelli.com/staging1/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=61_68_105_132&product_id=755>> and <http://www.frankcondelli.com/staging1/store/index.php? <http://www.frankcondelli.com/staging1/store/index.php?>route=product/product&path=61_68_105_132&product_id=756 <http://www.frankcondelli.com/staging1/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=61_68_105_132&product_id=756>>  are no longer available.   I have been using split loom and appropriate grommets at either end or if the ends of the original sleeves are still useable, use them in conjunction with split loom.  The soft flexible loom is preferable to the corrugated harder style.  

The front door wing window seals are only available now without the chrome trim groove.  We have them in stock: <http://www.frankcondelli.com/staging1/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=61_68_105&product_id=1136 <http://www.frankcondelli.com/staging1/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=61_68_105&product_id=1136>>  and <http://www.frankcondelli.com/staging1/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=61_68_105&product_id=1135 <http://www.frankcondelli.com/staging1/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=61_68_105&product_id=1135>>  You would need to replace all the door window seals with ones without chrome trim though as these will not work with the rest of the windup window seals that have the chrome trim, but you know you need all new door window seals in your resto.  In fact we have ALL the window seals available without the groove for the chrome trim, looks better anyways. The body window seals are here: <http://www.frankcondelli.com/staging1/store/index.php?route=product/category&path=61_68_133 <http://www.frankcondelli.com/staging1/store/index.php?route=product/category&path=61_68_133>>  and for the front door windows: <http://www.frankcondelli.com/staging1/store/index.php?route=product/category&path=61_68_105 <http://www.frankcondelli.com/staging1/store/index.php?route=product/category&path=61_68_105>>  

We also have ALL new door seals if you need them, see the link to the “Doors” above.

AND, as a side note, be prepared to rebuild the wing window frames, as they will most likely be rusty and some of the rivets will break in the process of removing the old seals.  POR-15 is the product of choice here.

The rear licence plate electrical parts we have, but only as an assembly with new lens and rubber seals, at $19.49 each I don’t see how it would be worth while trying to find the electrical parts and cleaning up and reusing the old rubber seals and lens.  

The Diesel fuel tank filler neck we have also: <http://www.frankcondelli.com/staging1/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=61_65&product_id=1151 <http://www.frankcondelli.com/staging1/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=61_65&product_id=1151>>

      Please note that I will be away from my business travelling from November 16 until April 30, 2016.  Parts orders will be processed although not as quickly as usual.  I will always be available for contact by E-mail.  If you phone your call will be addressed by Steven and he will either call you back or advise you to contact me directly by E-mail.  

Cheers,
