Fire wall sealing tape

What tape should I use to sealed the fire wall back in? I do have some fire glazing tape at work but one it's fitted it would be a mare to remove. What do you guys use? Cheers in advance

 

I just screwed mine back on!

 

A fire wall seal.
What engine do you have?

 

It's more an anti rattle foam than a seal , I used house door draught excluder

 

The seal's to stop it rattling. Neoprene foam tape or similar is fine.

 

+1 for draught excluder.

 

I asked what engine simply because I have a 1600 firewall seal sat in my shed, bought by mistake. Any good to ya?

 

The clue is in the name "Firewall". The seal is to do just that - make an airtight seal.

 

I don't believe VW ever intended it to be a "firewall". It's just a metal panel.

 

Splitties and my 68 don't have it. It's a safety thang, not just a metal plate.

 

So what's the gasket material then??

 

The cheap foam strip they used everywhere, that turns to dust over the years.

I honestly think it's just a closing panel, mebbe to give the tank a bit more protection in a rear-ender.

 

It'll be a firewall as per the term, but all it will do is slow the fire down by around 2 minutes, so I would say that the foam seal is just a foam seal!!

 

modern intumescent glazing tape tape will be 100% better than the original stuff VW used

 

tumescent?

 

I thought this was about firewalls.

Not vanoraks penile dis function.

 

It's like intumescent tape, but a little stiffer...

 

I used this stuff http://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/shopping.asp?intDepartmentId=1 If it's good for marine use, it should be fine in a bay..!!

 

Me too.

 

I used the same stuff.
