Rubber seal for bonnet ?

Can anyone suggest what to use to seal around the nose and scuttle under where the bonnet sits? Ideally something that will compress a little to form a bit of a seal?

Cheers

Hi, Most people use self adhesive foam rubber strip, we got ours from MAC#1.

I used the foam tape. Works well but does tend to move in use. I have some areas around bonnet and nose cone that would benefit from re-applying after 9 months / 3000 miles.
