Yes.....closed cell (wetsuit-like density) to prevent high pressure (fan forced) air under hood going to low pressure area in front of radiator when stationary.
While you're at it......open up the core support rad attach holes and install grommets to prevent twist in the panel from tearing up your tank ends.

Thank you and I will be ordering this from Amazon.

Good news is the radiator is sitting on the factory rubber mounts and the upper bolts are sitting in 3/4" Well Nuts to allow for movement.

Never thought about that but I will add this to my list of things to do today when I head out to the garage.


Thank you for the advice I truly appreciate it. I have leaned over the years that I am never to old to learn something new and or better way of doing something old.

I know it's shocking but I finally have a picture of me working on my car.

Mike brought over his crimping tool which made the job go much easier as I didn't have to remove the wire.

I really want to buy one of these.

Amazing work....beautiful..

One Question/comment..... on you gas tank vent tube... the valve... if its the one I'm thinking of it has to be straight up/down or the valve doesn't work. I bought one thinking I could get it to work in a spot I had on the frame rail... but if you tilt it at all, the valve closes. So you may want to verify that the valve works in the angle you have it mounted.

My only regret is I didn't do it sooner and Jason Statham is one bad ass dude.

So, I have thought about this over and over and I feel like you have confirmed my thoughts.

Another radiator close out option I used is this one... clips around the core support opening vs. adhesive:

If you take the valve, hook it to a short line of hose and then try to suck/blow through the hose, while tilting the valve....if yours is the same as mine..... you will note that as soon as you tilt it from straight up vertical, even just a little .... it stops functioning. Its pretty sensitive to being tilted at all, which I guess is a good thing if you wreck the car and dont want gas pouring out of it :)

Yep, it's the same one you had and now it's time to look for a new routing & location.

I found the stuff that came from Vintage Air so I just used that. However this looks way nicer.
