Re: Body to Pan Seal
Is it just a bitumen type of tape? If so,I can source it for you,probably alot cheaper than Volkspares

Re: Body to Pan Seal
No, its a moulded rubber. My guess would be 9 meters.
From fastest to slowest:
Birkin race car, not much is standard
Lotus Elise 111R, almost everything is standard
'75 SP 1600 with a few mods
B8 A4 Avant tdi, towing made easy

Re: Body to Pan Seal
Hi I dont use the stock VW type rubber but rather some closed cell foam tape frome your hardware store. I did a rough measurement and think 7m should be enough they come in 5m rolls so 2 should suffice buy 10mm x 40mm or 50mm with the sticky side to the pan.
We removed a pan after 13 years and this foam strip was like new

There a synthetic rubber used in the roofing industry at a fair price,and it was designed for this app.
