Gasket Question.

admin

Sorry, there's welding involved in the project, but none in this question.  I bought a 8 x 20' cargo container for home storage.  The bottom of the doors are rotted and the gasket and retaining strip at the bottom of the doors are as well.  I cannot find this gasket any where.  I planned to torch cut the bottom of the doors off, weld in a 1.5" angle iron and then replace the seal.  I can't find it anywhere.  I went to two different truck supplies today, no dice.  Every company on the net that has anything close is stationed in China.  One looked promising, bit I needed to buy 1000 meters of it minimum.  I need 8 feet.  I went to old reliable, McMaster Carr.  No dice.  Any help appreciated.  Below is a pic of what I need.  Thanks in advance.  Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now FreeTA Arcmaster 300CM3XMT 304S22P12 suitcase feederX-Treme 12VSOptima pulserTA161SMaxstar 150STLHypertherm PM45OP setupStihl 020AVP, 039, 066 Magnum

Reply:I'm trying to remember which member here posted up doing a lot of container repairs a few years back. For some reason I'm drawing a blank this evening, but I want to say they were out of Md or Va. Dean do you remember who I'm thinking of?.No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.

Reply:If you could find an old garage door and take the aluminum channel off the bottom, I don't see why a new garage door seal wouldn't work.                           MikeOl' Stonebreaker  "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes"Hobart G-213 portableMiller 175 migMiller thunderbolt ac/dc stick Victor O/A setupMakita chop saw

Reply:J.C. Whitney, they have about 100 different styles of weatherstripping. If all else fails call Eagle Leasing out of CT, they sell and service sea cans.Disclaimer; "I am just an a$$hole welder, don't take it personally ."

They have or can order a huge variety of weatherstripping for commercial refrigerator/freezer doors.CharleyMiller MM252Miller Bobcat 225NTMiller DialArc HF / DIY Cooler2 Victor O/A TorchsetsMilwaukee 8" Metal SawMilwaukee Dry Cut "Chop" Saw 5 Ton Wallace Gantry Various Grinders, Benders, etc.

Reply:Got your PM. I get mine from a couple places. About 50 kinds of that crap so make sure you order the right ones. Just google EPDM container door seal gasket, and pick your poison.
