The gaskets on both the round and oblong indicator lamps on my CAV lamps are getting tired and starting to disintegrate through age as I expect many others are, as I doubt anyone has any NOS that they are willing to part with perhaps it’s something that the Routemaster Association could look at remanufacturing ? (Unless anyone knows of a supply of course)

Look on Ebay or Amazon for 1, 1.5 or 2mm sheet rubber 200x200mm. Make your own with scissors and a hole punch. The same applies to foam rubber with or without adhesive one side.

Thanks for that Roy that is my fall back option but as the originals have a bespoke slot and cup to hold the round glass in a water tight seal and the rear indicator gaskets are formed to a bevelled edge I was hoping to get hold of the proper replacements if possible.

I'll go and ask the Routemaster Association .....

Yes, they did investigate these, but they were going to be over £30.00 each for a reasonable sized batch (and this was over 15 years ago, and each vehicle requires five of them) and there was limited interest anyway so nothing further happened.

Perhaps owners would be interested now and this should be investigated again ?

I suppose many of the surviving Routemasters have various lamp arrangements at the rear so any production run would have limited demand sadly - I wonder how many went in the skip along with other ‘obsolete’ spares when the buses came off service ? - I’ll order up some rubber sheet and get my scissors out ! - Many thanks for the replies
