If the rubber pieces denoted by the red arrows around the battery opening and separating the two panel halves are what you need I believe it is the same size and configuration rubber as was used in the earlier Clippers. There is nothing exactly the same dimension available in short lengths that I could find. Everything available was either much shorter in a leg dimension or was considerably thinner or was sold by industrial places that wanted a minimum order enough to do 20 cars.
For my 47 I bought a 10' length of U channel edge trim from McMaster-Carr and cut one leg of the U off. The rubber is 1/8 thick and a 10' length was enough for both sides. After cutting the leg off it left an L shaped piece that was almost perfect in all dimensions to what was on the car. The 5/8 cut off strip that remained was useful in a couple of other places. If your rubber is the same it might be an option for your car.

However, on the upper edge of the lower splash shield there is an L shaped piece of rubber where it mates to the upper. Does anyone make those?
