I just went to Bunnings and got strip soft rubber that the use to stop the breeze on your doors and windows, from memory it was about 20mm wide.

I wouldn't use any kind of foam rubber as it is basically a sponge and will hold moisture and therefore cause rust. I used black sika flex too.

Yes, in stock ready to go. I'll have to check tomorrow, if it is less than 500gm. If it is, we can have it in a 500gm express bag tomorrow.

WURTH make an awesome product, too, which I use on all my concours restorations. It's very reasonable, price wise, too. If anyone needs the details of that, email me direct and I'll go dig it out.
