Wedge TR8 [or TR7] Fresh Air Intake Seal - help

[GBRandy]

I am powder coating most everything in the engine bay. That includes the fresh air intake shield.

The seal on this is shot and I need a new one. The seal PN is YKC320

Any idea where a guy can get one?

Thanks!

Good luck on this Randy
The ones I got from Rimmer are so-so and really not the correct size I don't think
It is one piece and you cut to fit
Check the list if you haven't ...but spect you have

Rimmers, and everyone else, is NLS

McMaster-Carr (https://mcmastercarr.com) has just about everything ever invented. I've gotten seals from them and they're good quality.

Randy- You mean there is suppose to be a seal where the bottom of the intake meets the bulk head?

Yep. as my picture shows it is a pretty unique piece of rubber.

It is a press on peice with a 1/16" slit. Small clips hold it in place... I'll post pics of it installed later today.

My first attempts at sourcing it was Aircraft Spruce, Grainger & McMaster Carr and may end up at MMC with just a "U" channel made of rubber.

I had no idea there was one there.
Mine came to me with out it.
But make sense for sealing purposes

Randy, let us know if you find something. I still have mine, but it has seen better days.
