Heater and ventilation

[lyletrudell]

I removed the ventilation system from under the dash.
The foam was all falling apart so I used Home Depot sponge rubber weather stripping with adhesive backing. Cut with scissors and stuck in place, worked out great.
The inlet box seal #5 and the ventilator case seal #34 is hard and cracked.
What should I use as a seal replacement?
I am sure the original seal is not available.
Thanks
Lyle

sedan or coupe? Did you try ordering the original seal? doesn't seem like something under the dash would be a part many people would have replaced.

I have a 1972 Coupe, Honda doesn't have any old stock. I was looking for seals as replacements. These foam rubber seals could work with some modifications:
