Roberts280Z Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I have the fenders off from my '76 280Z for some rust repair. There are some pads that support the outer fender that appear to originally have been covered with some kind of foam or padding. Does anybody know what this was originally, or what could be used as a replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evlevo Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I think i know the spot you mean. Panels like that usually use a foam glue not just a foam pad. Heres the stuff we have at my work for that. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-Flexible-Foam/?N=5002385+3293193646&rt=rud Most people dont have the applicator gun. Id recommend maybe cutting up a piece of Box Cap Tape and using that on the little plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberts280Z Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 I see - thanks. I suppose glue makes more sense there for stopping rattles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannyknot Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Any piece of closed cell foam will do the job, a $1.00 pool noodle is good for a dozen cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I just got some peel and stick closed cell foam from the hardware store that was the same thickness. Make sure it's closed cell, you don't want a sponge holding water under there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
