Yes,

Keith 66 years.

The curved pieces on wheel arches are bitumen tape, but there is also a rubberised L section there as well.

(Distinctly missing as its disintegrated!)

Photo 1 shows the tape, sorry the rubber L section is on a disk in archive.

I do not think I will be ready for ANZAC Day this year!

I found that the seam tape used on rubber membrane roof makes a good substitute for this tape. Can generally be gotten from large commercial roofing companies that install the rubber membrane roofs. I've never had to pay much for the stuff comes in rolls 8-10 wide, generally when I tell the guy what I'm using it for (Picture in Pocket Helps) they rummage around and find the end of a roll, last end of a roll was 10" in diameter, price was right, free. This stuff is about 1/8 thick is sticky and will compress when the bolts are tightened down. Also seems to help with noise damping when place on the cab frame before the floor plates are put in place. Only problem is that it tends to gum up the bolts as you tighten them but it seems to protect the treads nicely. I have had some of it in place now for 20 years and it is still pliable.
