A call for information #1

I recently sold my two Magnettes that I was going to try to build one out of to someone who can invest the time that I just couldn't seem to find.
I have been trying to help the new owner out with information on parts interchanges and help him to find a windshield seal vent seals and other rubber parts. I used to have that saved on my computer, but it must have been on the one that died. I can't seem to locate the parts interchange list that I thought was part of Magnette.org, and Macgreagor (who I thought had the seals) doesn't show any listings that I can find.
I know with the wealth of knowledge in this group I can help him find whatever he needs to get this project done and am willing to be the go between to make it happen (he's Mexican, his English is iffy, and seems to have more trouble finding what he's looking for than I have had) Thank you to the group in advance for any help you can provide

Metro Molded Rubber in the US has the vent rubbers and some others. The single best source is going to be Peter Martin who is taking over for the Shortens in England.

Somewhere in the dim & distant past I recall being told that a Morris 1000 windscreen rubber would do the job. It may be worth investigating.

Take the time to understand what a part does and how it does it, then you'll have a better understanding of how to fix it when it goes wrong. Beats the scattergun approach every time.
