Source needed: Fender to body felt or rubber material.

When I removed my fenders on both my 510 and 120Y, I found two different materials. The 510 had a felt strip that adhered to the body to prevent the fender from rubbing. The 120Y, which had been rebuilt, had more of a spray foam/rubbery material. What do y'all use when replacing that material?

I made a replacement fender to body gasket for my 411 by using a roll of rubber electricians tape bought at Home Depot. It is the right thickness and the glue area is protected by a red vinyl peel off tape and by following the fender contact area and careful trimming [don't cut your paint layer] you can completely fill the original fender gasket area.

It's called 'fender welt', or 'fender welting', and is sold by a lot of people, like JC Whitney, Speedway Motors, and a lot of other places.

Just google it.

I'm trying this product (links to Home Depot). Not sure if the thickness will be right, but will let you know.

The Home Depot product appears to be open cell foam.

Consider this closed cell EDPM foam:

The electricians splice tape is a good idea. Not electrical tape, but splice tape.

You have broken the code! Splice tape, not electrical tape. Butt adjacent runs and trim carefully. Almost better than the factory supplied original gasket.
