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!
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.
Sounds good, is that a rubber seal around the bottom half of the scoop? If so where did you get that from please?
Do you have this piece of tinware dude? If not you need to fit it http://www.deimosaircooled.com/products/engine/cooling/hoover-bits/de-117-003
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
I have bought a pair of these as I have replaced my heat exchangers with j tubes! http://www.deimosaircooled.com/products/engine/cooling/industrial-shields/de-119-004 Anybody got any idea how they attach on?
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.
