Hood Seal Help

I've gotten mine from t rutlands,just the standard foam type,I have 'nt heard of them to go bad any time soon,But it is a inexpensive item to replace when and if they do.

 

I got mine from www.ferrparts.com they have all types and rolls of it

 

I used Armorflex, a tradename in HVAC equipment linings, you see it on big chillers.
Places like Johnstone Supply stock small sheets of it...it comes in 4' x 100' rolls for pipelines too! (10,000+ 308 hoods per each roll)

It's closed cell foam with a skin.

On the older 308s it's two straight strips, the later QVs and 328s angle the rear one to follow the tire surround..

Anyone got pics?

I used a 1" thick material and as you say cut it 1.5" wide or so, it molded perfectly the the top of the radiator, which incidentally also has SIDE and bottom strips of the original open cell foam.....

 

There's a trapazodial shaped "corner block' piece, on each side of the upper rad, but that's putting a pretty fine edge to it.......

 

You can get new pieces from most Ferrari places, or source them out yourself. I have a GT4 and took mine off as I repainted my hood and did not want to mess it up. I have not noticed any cooling, however depending on the model you may have some. On most cars this has rotted away unless replaced every so often.

Notice the 410 assembly number on hood........

Go to your local Home Depot or Lowe's and a 2" x 2" piece of foam (usually in the A/C section). Use some 3M spray adhesive and you're done.

 

You shake two of them and spray with both hands....

You can lay it in pretty well that way, if you get inside out of the wind.....

 

3M has some rattle can Flat Black,, better then KRYLON.
