Itinerant Air-Cooled

My rubber is still good.. .. with a 3" gap at dead center by the firewall.. Alternatives are $60+ from various vendors. I wonder if there is a home depot solution for $5..

I have a bunch of extra left over from my 81 iffin you want it, just pay postage, otherwise free.

There's probably 2 or more feet of it left, brand new. PM me an address.

You're a good man.

be sure that the home depo foam is closed cell, open cell will hold oil/gas and could be a danger.

I have not found anything yet that would work.. Anyone have a solution for the license plate?

really?

I offered to send you enough to fix the gaps in your engine compartment for free, just pay the postage.


If that doesn't work for you, I don't think there are any better suggestions other than going and buying a whole new one yourself and cutting what you need out of it, or just slapping whatever crap you can find at Home Depot in there instead.

Hi,I have the same problem..What type of seal are you using from Home Depot? Thanks,Chris.

This has generally been a strange conversation.

That's what I was thinking.

When I need some random bulk material, I usually order from McMaster-Carr. Made rear wheel well liners for my truck out of 3/16" thick EDPM rubber...Where? McMaster-Carr. Cheaper when you cut stuff yourself.
(But in your case, I'd take aircooledchris up on his kindness.)

I already have! Thanks air cooled Chris ! :)

I saw a great way of making rear fenders on a logsplitter, which could also be used for wheel well liners - using about a third of a used rear tractor tire. No dents, no rust, no cost, recycled - many benefits
