Hi..
There is a blanket between my firewall and the engine. I suppose they all have this.. but mine appears to be falling and the wheel for the oil cooler (I think thats what that is) is burning a hole into the blanket.. ouch. There are clips that appear to be there to hold the blanket up, but they arent really. There appears to once have been glue behind the blanket which may have been helping it to hug the firewall.. Can I fix this by just pouring some glue behind the blankie and pressing it back into shape? If so.. what kind of glue should I use? Photos follow :-) Thanks, David Attached image(s)

they're water-traps!
usually, the firewall is rusted behind them because they trap water and it then just sits there for years ... btw. this is not your oil-cooler (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) and yes, early cars didn't have them blankies at all, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Andy |
