What rubber seal/section have you used on the front and rear edge of an MK Bonnet??

Hi, Can anyone suggest a 'good' U shaped seal to use on an MK bonnet front and rear edge to cover up rough edge - with part number and supplier preferably - looks like I will need 2.5 metres.

Thanks

Chris

I haven't used anything on the bonnet itself, but fitted a strip of self adhesive 25mmx3mm neoprene sponge to the lip on the scuttle and nose cone. This gives the bonnet something to seal against and prevents GRP to GRP rubbing. It also keeps the bonnet shut lines nice and tidy.

One of the best places for rubber and other trim materials is Woolies (not the high street one).

Also have a look at Seals + Direct website as they have hundreds of different seals and trims
