the cushioning foam under the diamond plate

[cdb]

I'm having my wing and bonnet protectors powdered coated and that means scraping off the foam on the bottom. While I can just re-install them without the foam I'd prefer using it. RN doesn't have it. Any idea who might.

Thanks,

You could probably buy a couple of sheets at Lowes and cut them out yourself. I did not put any under my plates. Not worring about the paint underneath as I drilled 12 (painfull) holes and do not plan to take them off.

For a different aplication (rebuilding a heater box) I picked up adheasive backed foam and Michaels (craft store) Im not sure of teh origional thickness you used, but take a sample in and see if its close.

I used pond liner from Lowes on mine

Pond liner is good stuff.

However, the OEM foam is not adhesive, though it may have "stuck" to the parts. Anychance you can just get a good peel going?

I fitted an OEM wingtop kit I got from Rovers North and the foam definitely had adhesive- really, really strong adhesive. It was a fair sized sheet of foam that was hard to maneuver, and I accidentally got it stuck to the side of the fender when I was peeling the backing off. It was a pita to get off.

Funny, either I'm totally fubar, or my OEM kit didnt have it. Of course it wouldnt be unlike LR to be inconsistent...

I just got mine yesterday from Rovers North - no foam.

Is it an OEM Land Rover kit? RN likes to sell off-brand crap.

I was wanting to put something inbetween the rear light mount and the body, I like the idea of the foamy stuff but it seems like it would hold moisture. Is the pond liner availible in small amounts or does it come in large rolls?

[JimC]

Pond liner is sold by the foot, but its like 8 feet wide. No matter, 2-3 feet still costs less than 10 bucks and you'll start using it for all sorts of little anti-vibration/anti-scuff projects.

Pond liner is the way to go IMHO. I make gaskets from the stuff...for separating unlike materials...

Pond liner? I would never have thought of that but it sounds excellent for a number of projects and living in the Pacific Northwest, wet is always an issue. Off to Lowes and thanks for the idea.

I used some neoprene washers from my local hardware store to separate the tail lights from the body on my 110. It was quick, easy and shouldn't hold any moisture.
