I have a guy that bough a flexdam some time ago and needs the rubber now. As the rubber is a larger extrusion and there is not much margin on these I didn't do a bunch extra to have sitting on the shelf.
He needs the rubber, and I have to do a significant run to even get it down to this level, so I figured I'd try to get a few others interested to make tis happen. The tooling is done and has been proven, it's just a matter of having enough interest to make this work. Who's interested? Attached image(s) |

Just wanted to follow up on this.
The rubber will retrofit onto the earlier dams. So if you have a dam already you can mount to it. The rubber is a more UV stable (than the organic rubber) and is compounded to be lighter and more durable that the original version 1st available in the 80's. As far as fitting on car with an oil cooler cut out, yes it will fit, but you will need to cut it. the fiberglass is stout enough to support the rubber and you can make a modified opening using a light gauge sheet metal. It looks like I need a few more interested parties to make this work. |
