and possibly mk1 & 2 door hinge gasket s

what have you used in the past - & what did BMC use ?

every time I touch one , it falls apart

anyone tried suede ? nylon ? thick gasket paper ?

they seem to be a great way of holding water against the metal

I'm thinking rubber mat ? & filling the inside void with grease or silicon ?

any ideas ?
