But I have pulled the heater box to replace the heater core and would like to replace seals before I reinstall it. any ids where these can be Found. No local stores have them. Cj pony or lmr.

Most hardware stores sell foam of assorted thickness with double sided tape all ready on one side....perfect for this.

My local Home Depot has a good selection of foam as well a neoprene rubber seals.
I've actually used some of the neoprene as weather stripping on the hatch of our old mini van, worked great.

I used some medium density foam for mine. They were sections of floor squares i got at harbor freight. I had to double thickness part of it.
