Rod Gervais' book suggests the use of "General Motors Type K" weatherstripping for door seals. I've been unable to find this stuff anywhere. Anyone else have better luck?

Thanks.

i just looked at the link to JC Whitney, and unless the changed their site, or Rod has more than one book. . . type K is the same. not type L. it looks like both will work. . . but figure 5.8 in Rod's book on page 97 has a close up view identical to the picture on the JC site.
