On the black metal plates that the timing cover mounts on their are several different holes that have a rubber material that is used on the edges of the metal. This material has hardened and cracked and fell off in several different pieces. Is their an edging material that anyone can recommend as a substitute? I checked out Courtesy Nissan and they said that these bushings or rubber pieces are not available. I also checked out Z1 Motorsports. Any idea? Thanks

If you go on ebay, get a full gasket kit, they will have these pieces you speak of. I used them when I got this kit. Most of the gaskets I wouldn't trust, but these worked just fine. The one I got cost maybe $65.

This will have a good majority of what you are looking for. Some of them, I just couldn't find anywhere.

Hope this helps and it's what you are looking for.
