Well, it's not actually the gasket, but a PDF image of the thin cardboard template I made for my own gasket. You can use whatever material you want. I had one of those very rugged plastic outdoor signs laying around the garage, like for a zoning ordinance hearing or a political campaign sign, so I used that. Rubber, foam, gasket material, an old sign....your choice.
This is for my 1970 300. Your results may vary, but I'm guessing you guys know what fits what.
PM me your email and I'll send you a scan of the cardboard template you see below.
To prevent tearing your material, do the following:
1. Cut out big center hole first. I used an Xacto.
2. Cut out three bolt holes. Remember that they need to be large enough to fit over the lip that's formed into the floor plate holes.
3. Now take a scissors and cut out the outer outline. It can easily be 1/4 inch larger than the template, and probably should be.
It's ugly, but unseen once installed. Oh....a little black spray on the firewall side hides any ugly orangeness. At least it's sorta Hemi orange.....

) I took the column out to change to my FFeel steering gear (more on that later) and the existing gasket was decimated. So to get the car back together, I made one.
