    Where can I buy the foam weatherstripping that is used around the radiator. I assume it needs to be able to handle temperatures to at least 212 F. I am not confident that the stuff they sell at Home Depot can handle the heat.

    Having just done some work on my radiator, this is the stuff I used. Got it from ACE Hardware. Does not give at temp range but says its good for autos, boats, ect. Has a self adhesive backing that makes it easy to install. I used 2 packs, as I used a double strip around the radiator for extra insulation. Looks very close to the original stuff. Total cost for both packs:$15.00

    T Rutlands has the OEM stuff but it's not cheap. I just ordered the piece that goes under the bonnet on my Mondial for the top of the radiator. It was $37.00 + $12 s&h through their E-Bay store. I'd probably use the stuff from a hardware store too for the areas that aren't so visible such as the sides and under the radiator. Just my $.02

    Got the exact stuff from ACE as well. Mine's been there for ~ 1 year and looks good.
