Hey, I've never used it or heard of it....but MAN, it sure gives me ideas on how to fix stuff, whether on Vanagon or around the house.  Looks pretty robust.  Thanks!

 Subject: experience with Rubber Molded for engine insulation
   
Hi ,

I have a 2l air-cooled and would like to optimized the thermal isolation
of the my engine from the exhaust heat. Many of the seals doing so does
not exist anymore so I look online how I could build them and find a
molded rubber I can shape in any seal type. See link bellow ,

Do you guys have any experience with them.

Thanks
