Looking for light seal kit for Canon AE-1

I see several on eBay but some have more pieces than others. In want all the pieces and the best foam.

The general recommendation is to get the one(s) from Jon (John?) Goodman. Better quality material, better fit. Includes basic tools, IIRC, and doesn't need adhesive backing for the in-groove strips to stay in place (ones on a flat still have sticky back).

Thank you, however I don’t know how to get a hold of him.

I think he's a user here... In any case, here's a thread that has his contact information in it.

I bought 2 AE-1 kits from Jon about a year ago; worked perfectly and he has detailed instructions in a kit form at very reasonable price.

jon_goodman@yahoo.com is the address I used to contact him.

+1 on Mr Goodman.

Thanks, I ordered it from Jon.

Good job. You'll only know what a good decision that is if you've installed light seals from the various eBay sellers.

Even if Jon's product wasn't superior (which it seems to be), he is worth dealing with, because he is so pleasant!
