I can get this,





Not sure if I have any spare at though check, if not I can sort more.

Mark, if you do end up getting some I'll take one/kit as well please.

 

[89Rallye]

No probs, I can get it just not sure when I'll have the time.

From memory I have some spare at home but don't know how much is left,

I'll have I measure an oil cooler to see how much is needed, unless someone can tell me?

I did go a bit ott with the one pictured above but it's only cause the tinware had been butchered.

Thanks for the reply 89rallye,I found this on eBay,it doesn't have the vw scene tax added either!

Self-adhesive draught excluder is all you need, about a fiver for 10m from B&Q.

No problems, if anyone needs any should have a roll of it today.

That DIY stuff is rubbish, I have a roll of self adhesive neoprene (40mm wide) - I use it for ductwork and Solar installations, if you don't get sorted i can stick a bit in the post - if you still want some?

One of our country´s leading stock aircooled VW engine builders (he is a retired VW mechanic and his father owned a VW dealeship ...) always uses a strip cut off an old carpet (about 2cm wide) - the kind that has a layer of foam at the bottom. Easy to find, cheap and works perfectly ...

Easy to find if your a carpet fitter :lol:

I know this would function perfectly well but if I'd bought a professionally rebuilt engine and found bits of carpet in it, I wouldn't be too happy.

Well, to get built/rebuilt an engine is a matter of trust. Luckily the fella I am talking about is far beyond any doubt, he has rebuilt hundreds of stock engines and they all work perfectly. Just picked up my rebuilt longblock last week - rebuilt with NOS VW cylinder set, valves etc.. - and it had a neatly cut strip of carpet around the oil cooler, ready for assembly . I am a happy man ;-)
