gruntus Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Chaps, Is there on online shop that provides reasonable density foam for sealing things? I am ready to fit my brake/clutch and throttle pedals back on my (bling bling galvanised and painted Zambesi Silver ) bulkhead and need to replace the foam seal that is sandwiched between the metals. I know I could probably go to the dealer and pay for the privelege but wanted to know if there was a more abundant reasonable cost alternative?

vinny Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 We use this stuff in work, might be suitable! http://www.albert-jagger.co.uk/Portals/0/0...hesivetapes.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eightpot Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 The proper gasket is only a couple of quid, can't remember how much my last one was but it was cheap enough to stop me using window sealant! Try paddocks or somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milemarker Type S Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Air conditioning companies use rolls of self adhesive foam tapes in various sizes- find a local one and have a chat. My local one gave me a roll of 25mmx4mm for free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try paddocks or somewhere. mmm couple a quid eh? I usually get quite a few items from the dealership as the quality is usually better and not that much more expensive and like you say eighpot wasnt expecting to be too dear. Phoned the dealership this morning: Clutch Foam Gasket : £11.16 Brake Foam Gasket : £12.13 Fan Sealing Foam Gasket thing to bulkhead : £13.49 including VAT all in nearly £40! I am definately still looking for alternatives..... Im not a tight wad but I have the rest of the 90 project to complete and it will be quicker and cheaper to be able to make my own.

Eightpot Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Think of how good you'd feel putting all that much needed cash back into British industry though I'm sure if you get britpart ones from paddocks etc they will be a more realistic price - I bought a set and I'm a hardened tightwad, so it can't have been that much And even britpart cant get a piece of foam wrong - can they...
