All,
On my Oil coolers on the spare donks, the foam or sealer between the cooler and the housing tinware is ripped/torn/useless. I haven't been able thus far to find the stuff as a separate part.
Is it?
Or is there a suitable replacement foam I can use with a bit of contact adhesive to keep it following the Cooler outline so it won't get mangled when the shroud goes back on.

Ta

i got some self adhesive rubber 49mm wide, 6mm thick (black in colour) from clark rubber.
looks like it should last longer than the foam

Guys,
Sounds like the go. I may go check insulation for fridges/dryers as well to satisfy my curiosity.

Thanks
