oldschool80sguy Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I noticed that there is a piece of rubber stripping that runs along the knife edge of the engine bay for the fenders to rest on. Does anyone know where I could pick those up? BETTER YET, does anyone know of a DIY technique to accomplish the same goal? Thanks Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Is this between the sheet metal and the fender where the fender mets the body? If so, electricians use a rubber tape, not vinyl, about 1/16 inch or so thick that comes in a roll with usually a red plastic covering to prevent the rubber tape from sticking to itself. I have used this to build up isolating and weatherproofing gaskets between fenders and body joints in the past. I bought it a Home Depot in the [obviously] electrical section. Lay the tape on and peel the plastic protector off. The "other" side has a good cement on it and will stick to sheet metal very well. Good luck! Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Got an old piece of rubber bicycle inner tube? Cut it to match and done! Quote Link to comment

oldschool80sguy Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 great ideas and thanks for the link. i don't know if having fiberglass fenders is an issue here but i guess once there on, your not really removing them often anyway so double sided tape or the other method should be fine. thanks again.
