Dave are you asking about the plastic grate/covers that go over the holes where you get inside the cowl to access the Windshield Wiper stuff?
IF so, I can grab a couple of them tomorrow while I am at the farm. Pay the shipping and couple bucks and they are yours. |

Ah no they are at the very sides of the plenum. Small openings to allow any water to run out down between the inside of the fender and the firewall. I have those top grates, thank you for the offer.
The seal or rubber flap has a metal holder over the top section to hold it in place and 3 small phillips head screws to hold that in place. It would only be about 3 inches long and 1 inch tall... the hole that this flap covers. Hopefully that clears up the desription and location. Davud. |

yup, I know what you are talking about now... nope don't have any.
In reality you don't need it if you don't daily drive in the rain. It is there to keep road spray around the wheel well skirts from going up into the cowl area and to keep critters out. then it lets the water flow out to drain. A piece of screen and a small flap of rubber and you can make something. |

Is this the flappy thing on the side of the cowl?

picture of the ROTTED what was left of the passenger side of the yellow one I stripped.
It had a metal hold down plate the rubber was formed to.  |

i have bought them for my projects ,on ebay
i used a rubber tire tube and i bent a piece of sheet metal and made the flap that way it also keeps the air from rushing up your dash vents
