    Cowl Sealant on MG-TF

    Does anyone have a good suggestion for sealants between the cowl and the body tub on T Cars?

    If you are referring to the seal between the firewall and the tub, E-mail Bob at Abingdon Spares: <abingdon@sover.net> he recommended something to me a few years ago when I was putting my TF together but I can’t remember what it’s called.

    I contacted Bob as MGADavid suggested.  Bob recommended a silicone caulk that could be found at an Auto parts store.  However, by the time that I got an answer, I had gotten impatient and put in some solvent based sealer which is normally used in cars to seal the floorboards.  It seemed to work and appear like the original material.  I experimented with "putty tape" (used to seal window and door frames on RVs), but that was NOT good.  It never hardens!

     Bob from Abingdon text:

    "You should go to a NAPA store or other car auto parts and purchase some silicone
    gasket maker.  Put in a bead and when it dries trim off the excess.
     
    If we can be of any other assistance please do not hesitate to contact us again.
