Jeremy, Box stores have adhesive backed foam insulation (for weather stripping). Squeeze it and get the firmest they have. Bob

 

Foam

Where do you find this in the parts catalog? I see nothing listed in PC2139.
I was going to have you contact :

1-319-239-6276 langjohn260@gmail.com John Lang Traer Iowa. He sells the firewall foam kits with adhesive.

 

Jeremy, Looking through the parts catalog, the fender deck sits on four isolators, M76270,and not foam strips. If you have foam, or want foam, box stores! Bob

 

I think he's referring to the foam mesh pad that tucks under the front of the fuel tank, and extends forward to the pedestal. It covers the driveshaft and sits on the frame. I have recently taken the fender pans off of 2 of my 322s, and I have that "foam" pad on both. In my parts catalog, PC-2149, it looks like it might be # 10, on page 80-44, E19, M89363, Foam Pad, Frame seal. I don't have access to my pad now, but I'd say it is approx 3/8-1/2" thick.

 

Ken,
You are correct. My foam pad is very rough and mostly starting to fall apart. I measured mine at roughly 1/2" thick. Like I said originally, it appears to be the same material used as pond skimmer filters. I just cannot find any thin enough. I was hoping someone had a source for thinner material.

Mine were in good shape so I just cleaned and re-installed them. I think that some generic, cut to fit, furnace air filter material from a big box store might work.

 

Ken,
I will give that a try. I may have better luck finding that material in the right thickness.

 

I can't take credit for this. Someone posted this awhile ago on one of the forums. I have not purchased it, but it looks promising.

 

Jeremy, it looks like Bill has found it - it looks just like the coarse foam pad on my 322s.
I believe it's on my 318 too.

Uni Filter BF-2 12" X 24" X 3/8" 30-PPI Black Coarse Foam

 

Bill,
That is perfect. Thanks for being able to find that. I have enough of my foam left to use as a template but it has a hole from rubbing on the drive shaft and it is in overall bad shape from years of neglect by the previous owner.

 

Jeremy, Once you get your replacement parts made, use double sided tape to hold them in place for final assembly. I think most types of spray adhesive will "eat" your foam. Bob

 

The foam actually just sits on the frame and the fender pan sandwiches it in place.
