Tape for bonnet seal?

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, does anyone know where I can get the dense foam tape (~50mm wide) to go on the engine bay sils where the bonnet sits? 

Ideally only a couple of mm thick as I don't want it to disturb the shut lines.

Thanks in advance

This was recommended on the forums before: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEOPRENE-SPONGE-FOAM-SELF-ADHESIVE-STRIP-5MTR-10MTR-3MM-6MM-8MM-10MM-THICK/121388027214?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=420327339438&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

I got the 32mm wide/6mm thick version and it's good stuff, much better than the previous foam (which although single sided, appeared to be as sticky on top as on the bottom)

Here in the USA you can buy this at hardware stores. It's used for sealing doors and windows and you can get it in soft open cell and dense closed cell foam.

Thanks Quentin, I’ll get some ordered! 

Dave, I’m not sure how that helps me but thanks for the reply anyway  :d

You might want to put it on the bonnet as it would keep things looking nice and shiny when the bonnet is off and you are showing your friends 👌
