For attaching the clear outter lens, I've used Seal-All contact cement on my FB. It's held it on solid for at least 3 years.

If it's the gasket you need, Black Dragon Auto still sells it for the SA in their catalog. They're 33 bucks a piece.

If you can hold a marker and a razor blade..just make your own!
I just about farted an avocado when I hear they want 30 bucks for a gasket!
Look around in a Hardware store for stuff like a foam/rubberized sheet...make a set for like 5 bucks!
Case and point,I am doing Seats,they want 150 a side,just for rails to set the seat on!
I used stock rails,a 8 foot piece of 3 inch flat stock(paid 8 bucks),made a Pair.
so I saved 290 bucks!
..
This type of car brings out the "genius" in people..when it can't be fixed or found,Fab it!
