Plenum Chamber Seal

#1 Post by Len Hughes »

Was at a car show today and was asked who supplied a plenum chamber seal for a Sprint.

I seem to remember Phoenix Trim used to do it under Ref 116 but that was a few years ago, When I search their site for 116 it comes up with wheelarch trims.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Len

Thanks,

That's exactly the problem this chap had hence his quest for another source.

SRS 116 Len, from Phoenix Trim (used to be Phoenix Supplies), Collumpton. Also looks like Baines sell it as well. I've used it on several of my restos but you do need some strong glue on the bends.

Many thanks Mart, I'll pass it on.

I assume its a linear piece not preshaped as per the original hence your comment re glue?

Cheers,

What glue to people use for bits like that? I've got a few seals that need glueing on to my car after the re-spray - sadly I bought Rimmers ones..

Yes it is a linear piece Len. Usually I use a contact adhesive like Time Bond by Evo-Stik, but, because of the tight corners, it needs something stronger. I use super glue.
