Foam gasket..2nd request!!

Come on guys, really need the grey foam gasket on the hood over the radiator...Does anyone know where I can get one? Is it the same as the 308? I can't even find it in the parts manual, anyone have a part number? HELP!!

 

you have to find a suitable replacement from a peice of bulk foam and cut it to fit. I have some that was given to me for my 308 that I need to cut to size. Im told to use an electric knife to get perfect results.

 

doesnt it have to be heat resistant since it sits on top of the radiator? where do I get some...whered you get it for the 308?

 

Newman, forgot to ask, will ther be enough left over after you cut it for one more?

I have tried to access the Ferrari UK Classic site to see if it is listed but the site seems to be down at the moment! Hope you get some more help.

Ill take a peek at it, I can share.

 

A new bread knife yields good results..

I used a product called Armorflex from the HVAC supply store, variuos thickness are available and it holds up well...they wrap big chillers with it.

It's closed cell instead of the open cell bulk foam, which will absorb water and hold it.....

Don't forget to put Mom's knife back!

 

Did you check at www.owners.ferrari.com ?

 

Best "tool" for cutting foam.........................An electric knife, you know the one that you use for the turkey on Thanksgiving?

Also the foam you might want to locate is called "hardcard"...............used in ATA type roadcases, which are used to protect electronics during shipping as well as when in use..so heat of under 250 F is not an issue...............

There is some info about the hardcard here at the top of the page.............
