[C320-list] ice box gasket

[Chris Descher]

Thanks, Karl.  I ordered that part number from Catalina a year ago.  Since
that time I've spoken with them a dozen times about the status of my order.
This finally ended when I received a call from Gerry Douglas in April
telling me that they no longer had any of that material.  He told me to call
an industrial supplier.  

I appreciate your having the dimensions.  Maybe McMaster-Carr has something.

Hi Chris,

I've got the same project on my To-Do list.
A check of the archives identified the gasket (seal) as p/n 90313 from the
Catalina factory. Price at that time was $1.85/ft + shipping and 17' are
necessary if you want to do the dry storage bin also.

Price seemed a bit high, so I am looking around for a proper D-gasket,
hopefully a local source.  I make it to be 3/4" W X 1/2" H. I'd also really
like to get it in white, not black.

So far I have found AP Products 018-318 seal made for the RV industry. About
$52 shipped for a 50' spool.  It's in black, however, so I am still looking.
Have yet to check the local RV supply stores.

I also plan on installing on the covers, to eliminate the dirt trapping
problem. Advice welcomed....
