I have used RockAuto for sundry parts before. It turns out that they also sell MetroMoulding parts for a significant discount! The more you know.

EDIT: As Owen_Dyneto pointed out below, Metro Moulded parts. Searching by part number is the most effective.

I'm sure Ken meant to type Metro Moulded Parts, as in the company that produces rubber component parts for cars, similar to what Steele Rubber does.

Thank you for the information, Ken. Steele's prices tend to be pretty high.

You can make a lot of really neat things from the parts left over after you rebuild your engine ...

No idea about that brand, but I've ordered other parts from rockauto before, and I have no complaints.

Good to know about Metro Molded Parts from Rock Auto at a discount. I too have ordered some parts from Rock Auto, but for my Pontiac Firebird projects. I have a new Metro catalog and am getting ready to place a big weatherstrip order from someone.

Just make sure you check the parts when they come in, in one box the part number was correct but it had the wrong part in the box. But it's always best to double check when something goes in no matter where it comes from.
But besides that I would buy from them again.

In decades past I've used both Steele and Metro Moulded Parts and had no problem with either other than one MMP being far too large for the application. I'm sure the problem must have been corrected by now.
