51 fender skirt rubber

On cleaning up the fender skirts on my 51 200 prior to painting, I found staples on the upper edge, indicating that some sort of rubber gasketing was originally installed. Steele shows a masticated sheet rubber with random cotton fiber that is cut to the proper size. Does anyone have a closeup photo of what it's supposed to look like? I have some thin rubber that should work, but it's just rubber, no cotton.
