cammo netting generally works well for covering rockets .

[Scouse]

In the market for some roof racks and roof cage for my range rover classic.
Originals are cork, but rubber gaskets are available now.

Originals are cork, but rubber gaskets are available now.
Rubber will melt with all the Heat from the Rockets

Title : PEGASUS STRUCTURAL TEST. NOSE CONE SEPARATION - PITCH ROCKET COVER EJECTION,

Abstract : The effect of the Thiokol TX7-1 rocket motors on the pitch rocket cover and the nose cone - heat shield separation was evaluated. The pitch rocket cover test indicated that the Thiokol rocket exhaust was adequate to effectively jettison the pitch rocket cover. The nose cone - heat shield test proved that the Thiokol rocket motors provided sufficient thrust and that the angular mounting of the motors gave sufficient lateral displacement to the nose cone to move it out of the programed flight path of the capsule.

Ok, serious answer , V8 come in cork or re useable rubber (later RRC/Disco) TDI are rubber.

[Geeman]

hey guys sorry, the engine is a 3.9 v8 range rover

I went to landrover in port melbourne and purchased some genuine gaskets and they gave the rubber type!

Anyway I found that they are cheaper to purchase from Landrover Australia then other landrover specialist outlets here in Melbourne.

Cheers guy

Cheaper than $5.50 each (cork) from Four Wheel Drives in Blackburn? I'd want to live next door to LandRover in Port Melb to get them for less than that :p.

[Geeman]

na not that cheap mate, Im talking about the rubber one as recomended by landrover australia and a few other landrover workshops here in melbourne

Genuine is the go, Cork seem to leak on rover V8's

[PAT303]

The only ones you should use are the ones with the metal foil in them that crush when you tighten them.I think they are from the P38,all the others will leak.The cork ones are crap. Pat
