Default What's a good source for quality weatherstripping on 79 Formula?

Looking for suggestions . Need good quality weatherstripping for 79 Formula. Not sure who made the ones currently on the car. But they are falling apart being only couple years old. TIA guys.

Mike,you probably remember this car



Trying to chase some of the major problems . Have yet to figure out popping clunking noise from all four corners when brake pedal is pressed or released. . Last year I tightened up rear calipers because they were lose and every nut and bolt I could see . Now seems like noise is louder on front.Maybe it's normal for Baer brakes, but I installed same full Baer kit on 70 Impala not long ago, it never made a noise .Had to notch front control arms because of wrong offset wheels. Car runs way too hot, seals on rear axle are leaking, fuel spills on rear bumper from vent tube and a whole lot of cosmetic problems.

I got the seals for my '72 TA from AMES performance. They are excellent..

Silly question, but what's the bolt pattern on the wheels? If it's 120 mm vs 120.65 mm that could be the clunking you're hearing. Worth checking out.

If lug nuts are tight, why would they clunk? I doubt Boze would screw up the bolt pattern.

The clunking is more like brake related, when pedal pressure applied or released,especially when turning around or backing up.Almost like pads are lose and flopping around.
