Hi Guys
After finishing the Body of my project over here in the UK I am now re-trimming and carrying out a camper van conversion.

I usually shop with Rock Auto but this time the parts catalogue is draqwing a blank.

Does anyone know where to obtain an engine cover seal kit, also can some kind soul post me a picture of what the retaining brackets look like..my van only has the 2 forward clips but not the 3 retaining brackets.

I do have the old seal so worst case I can sikaflex it back on but some new parts would be beneficial

its been a while since i posted but here are some before .. during and after shots.

van is now a rolling resto, saving up for some daisy mags to go on to fill the arches a little better.

Cheers
Neil.

It's getting harder and harder to find the engine cover gasket. It was discontinued by Chrysler long ago. I was able to find one for my 85 in Florida after a guy in Arizona told me he wouldn't sell me the one he had.

I'm at work right now, but I can post the factory part number and you can do a serch via Parts Voice.

www.partsvoice.com

The seals were pretty much the same from 78-97.

Cheers Nate.
if anyone could post a pic of the brackets which hold the cover down on the floorpan I would be grateful. They don't look too complex to make if I have too

Would be nice to know what they look like though.

I'll snap a pic of those brackets when I get home from work this afternoon. My 94 only uses two of them.
