Does anyone know where i can find a sutable replacement gasket for an AEI Amber? Even if it ment having to improvise making a new one. |

An improvise could be foam sealant strip for door frames. Remember that broken Arc at the AMEY depot that I stripped the stuff out of? I got the gasket from it and said "this may be useful for another lantern at some time"... I can't help but feel slightly smug at that forethought! |

Lantern gaskets of that vintage would have originally been of felt. Some lanterns like the GEC Z8430 used asbestos.. The best bet is to use draught excluder as Mazeteam states. I use the "posh" version of this from RS -neoprene foam strips which is a high density foam, not cheap though. |
