Body welting

Anyone have a suggestion as to what they feel is the best material to use as welting on my T Bucket? I've been told to use rubber pads, seat belt material or leather. Not sure about any of those! Got any ideas to share?

Leather could be easily done if you have access to some. You would wet the leather with alcohol, shape to desire and rivet it to the panel or screw it on. Then put the panels together and trim to the surface.
If you have spare time and want to spend hours with your mouth hanging open and those light bulbs burning in your brain, go to McMaster Carr and go crazy thinking...
I'm linking to bulb seals but move around within their search vehicle...

Whatever you use make sure the material doesn't hold moisture.

Whoa .... Is it really that difficult or time consuming? I'm not afraid to spend the time, and I want to do it right, so guess I'll be leather welting.
