Canvas tire buffer strips

[Erik M.]

I need to replace the two canvas strips for the interior spare tire mount behind the seats. Didn’t see any from our hosts. Anyone know if there’s indeed an ‘genuine’ replacement?

If you cant find the OEM part, you could try some woven cloth "hood lace". It is a dark to medium brown, stiff, coarse material, like the stuff originally used where the front of the hood meets and rubs against the radiator support on the Land Rover.

Here's a company that sells it in many different widths (but only 1/8" thick, you might have to double it up...)

They also sell A LOT of weird hard-to-find hardware for really old old cars
