Spitfire side lights--rubber bases

["George Fisher" <HW1.GFISHER@HW1.CAHWNET.GOV>]

Last year several messages were posted concerning the availability (or rather,
UNavailability!) of rubber bases for Spitfire side marker lights.

I'm going to have my son's '72 Mark IV painted sometime during the next few
weeks, and I planned to replace the old cracked rubber parts. Does anyone
have a source for NOS or new bases, or should I be searching for used ones
in good condition? California sun plays heck with rubber parts...

Thanks...
