Daytona: insulation between radiator and core support

[hemi68charger]

Hey gang..
Might be over thinking this, but wanted to get as close a product as possible to OEM-correct ( I'm "Geno" that way on some things ) 

Where, if there is anyone, who sells the proper foam/density of the seal between the upper radiator tank and horizontal top core support?

Thanks...
Troy

Answered my own question...... Should have gone directly to Dave (PCG)... duhhhhh...

But, I'll keep this for others to learn from...

I bought a roll of it at Canadian Tire....I'm sure Home Depot and Lowes have it as well.

Not that I want to take any money away from Dave - everyone needs to eat......

They sell it in various widths and thicknesses.....I forget the correct dimensions at the moment. I think it was about $7.00 a roll.......enough to do 4 Daytona's. Thank god I don't have more than that!

I want to get some as well, Troy, if you find the right stuff - I'll buy a piece from you for my car.  I could also look for it at the store if I knew the thickness and width.

I got the "kit" from Dave P... It does look pretty generic, not sure about the density and thickness compared to what is out there on the market. Dave sends two strips, one for the top tank and one for the bottom tank. Hard to put the bottom strip in if the rad's already in. I installed the top strip already. The two pieces in Dave's kit come precut..

Troy,don't you wonder where he got it ?

I didn't know others were selling the foam so I bought from Dave. It sure seems just like the originals but they were 35 years old when I took them off.

Why can't we all just get along?

Oh yes... But, I figured my money can help him stay in business too. His expertise is needed in the market place and I figure this is one small way to help keep more important things of his coming out.........

PS: Did you see the picture of Mister Dave P. helping me out with the 426 Hemi installation.

I source the 1"X1" radiator foams seals for my repro wingcar nose seal kits from McMaster Carr (pn#8694K54), they have an adhesive film on one side that aids in installation, holding the strips where placed on the front radiator support, while installing the radiator...plus an added benefit to the adhesive film is retaining the strips under speed, reason why some car's seals were lost or slipped out of place
