Hood gasket?

mjmacqua · #1 (**permalink**) 06-17-2009, 01:21 PM

I am looking for any suggestions on what others have used for a hood gasket/spacer between the hood and the body.

Originally my cobra had these small clear rubber 'bumps' that were glued on. I have lost a number of them and want to try something else.

Appreciate any suggestions.

Here is a shot of my engine bay, and I really, really like my gasket going all the way around it. Really polished, a nice detail and its like a frame for a great picture. One piece that wraps all the way around. This is a "D" gasket with an adhesive back that is the width of the channel that wraps around the hood.

I am spoiled - I live a few miles away from a warehouse who sells every single thing imaginable for car interiros, but you should be able to get something very similar from McMaster-Carr or a local interior guy.
