Thread: Foam for Air Intake Panels

I got a couple of metres of the 6mm black a/c foam filter stuff from Clark's Rubber yesterday.

I'll take some pics and publish the procedure on paulp38a.com when I get around to it...

Thanks for tips blokes.

Cheers, Paul.

You can skip half those steps - no need to remove the A-pillar trims nor the door seals.

You can buy air con filter material from Godfreys, as vacuums use it.
Its not foam but a sort of woven stuff.

Sweet, I'll take pics anyway... and only write it up if I find an easier way to do it... such as Ron's suggestions.
Cheers, Paul.

When I had the car apart I took the oppurtunity to do it too, I used a large pond filter and sliced it up to fit. Seems to work well.

Lots of other good suggestions too.

Finally got around to changing my Plenum foam. I bought a piece of fish tank filter from e-bay. Unbelievably it is the perfect size and only the hole for the Wiper stub needs to be cut out. It is also about 2 1/2 times as thick as the original but has no impact on the fitting. Cost me A$2.20 shipped.
The job took less than an hour thanks to the instructions available and is well worth the effort

Had a quick look and its now A$4 buy now..............

A lot cheaper than Clark Rubber!
