Joe Flanagan Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 It goes between the fender well and something else (don't know at the moment). Here's a picture: And another: Mine is all torn up and worn out and I'd like to replace it. Originally the material was stapled in, but I don't know how you'd do that with a replacement. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 Maybe between fenderwell and cowl......i think. Or well and fender???? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 Bod..Ithink he is asking where one may purchase this style material in bulk so as to cut and fit his damaged pieces.. Quote
Young Ed Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 That stuff hangs down to kind of seal off the suspension from the engine compartment. I believe my 94 dakota still uses similar stuff to do the same thing. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 I do not know of an exact source as this stuff is in apperance rubber impregnated fiber stuff...I though a sheet of rubber from a commercial roof liner would be adequate... Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 I think Tim hit it. You could probably just use pieces from a roll of rubber roofing. That's available at any big box lumber yard usually. Or, you could probably also get away with using rubber from an inner tube. Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Posted April 18, 2009 I think Young Ed is right about its purpose. In terms of finding a replacement, I'll do some looking around and report back, in case any of you guys ever need any. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 OK, Tim.......I see I missed the point of his question. The suggestions made so far seem reasonable. Quote
Brendan D25 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 I think the proper name for those pieces is " splash pan aprons ". Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Posted April 18, 2009 "Splash pan aprons." Without a doubt, this is the best old car site on the internet. I bet you couldn't find a handful of people in North America who could come up with that. Thanks. Quote
Bingster Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 I believe that Metro Rubber lists such a product in their catalog (612 757-0310) and Pro Antique Auto Parts (860 627-8061) list Anti-Squeek that fits the bill. Although the Home Depot route would undoubtedly be less expensive and would serve the purpose for a driver car. Quote
