I have been looking everywhere for some sort of body gasket kit. I can find things like gaskets for locks, weatherstripping but nothing for the gfx's. Are these available? If not are there any good ideas out there to make them? I am almost ready for paint so trying to think ahead on what I am going to need for assembly.

Thanks in advance!

If the foam gasket is dried or damaged it will have to be replaced. I believe it is 20343286 (WASHER, R/End Spoiler Ext) and is available from Vintage Parts, Inc. To seal the retaining nut you can use 3M Strip Calk as described below. Take a portion of it and roll and stretch into a circle on body panel side of the nut. To keep it from sticking to your fingers, dip your fingers in some water. When the nut tightens down a portion of the Strip Calk will squeeze out making a seal.

Spoiler Extension Retaining Nut Torque - 40 lb. in.

This sealer is similar to the old style windshield installation sealer.

3M Strip Calk 08578
Strip Calk is used as a thumb-grade seam sealer for filling in joints, seams, voids and gaps. Typical applications include engine compartments seams, firewall, and other non-visible automotive seams, gaps, and joints. A soft, non-hardening butyl rubber material. It is used as a thumb-grade seam sealer for filling in joints, seams, voids and gaps. The permanently pliable formula means the sealer won't dry out and become brittle -- No re-work because sealer dried up and stopped working. Excellent high temperature resistance means this caulk can perform many sealing functions in engine-compartment temperatures. Excellent gap-filler can plug holes to prevent noise and moisture penetration.
