Tinware foam

Hi guys and girls, does anybody know where I can purchase foam for the tinware on my type I engine, does it need to be heat resistant and therefore can't just use any old foam. Also has anybody got any photos of tinware in situ with foam on?
Thanks

 

you mean the big one round the entire engine area? all the usuals sell it, foam one side sort of shiny the other, shiny side down.

 

Thanks for that, no sorry didn't make myself clear, the foam around the tinware that bolts into the big tinware that fits over the oil cooler and has the alternator in it!

 

I would try all the usual suspects, Coolair, JK etc

 

Thanks bud, have tried them and they have no idea what I am talking about! I have gone and got some door sealing foam which I think it will be fine, shouldn't get to hot, I hope!!

 

I think you'll find a lot of people use door/window sealing foam, I've haven't seen any that's melted yet.

 

Thanks zed

 

i used some foam and evostick

 

Sounds good, is that a rubber seal around the bottom half of the scoop? If so where did you get that from please?

 

it is rubber and was on the engine already

Thanks Paradox you are a superstar yes I have that other piece and it is fitted to the new oil cooler but there is no sign and there wasn't any sign of the rubber seal! thanks a mill for pointing me in the right direction

 

Thanks a lot that as been a tremendous help and now thanks to paradox I have bought it

 

I have bought a pair of these as I have replaced my heat exchangers with j tubes!

Anybody got any idea how they attach on?

 

i'm guessing they mount on the lower tinware where the heat exchangers would

 

my engine didnt have one of these on it!? i take it i need one too? and where exactly does it go? :S

ah so its a performance upgrade more than a stock bit of tinware...

i.e. my engine wont die without it.

 

No, it's a standard part that helps to prevent air escaping around the cooler instead of passing through it.
