Hi Guys and girls took of my front beam off today and their is a part I need a gasket for but can not find what it is called to look for one.

I should say shortly after this pic was taken I made the body surcure and did not leave it jacked up with wood. 

Is it this......

nice to see a good collection of tools i find a good hammer solves most problems

Lol something along with a screw driver I found most effective at bending back the tabs to stop the bolts undoing when took of the front beam. Which reminds me I need to get some more of the metal strips that do that job.

dont bother getting ripped off for a gasket just put a bead of seam seal round it to keep water out

Beam Seal not sure what that is but will have a look, learning as I go along all new to me and first project. I will have to start a build tread.

If you do a buggypete sealant job use a silicon free one as it causes corrosion.

I think sikaflex should work well.

wise words not many people are aware that silicone sealants cure by an acid reaction

Gasket is probably cheaper than a tube of sika 

So all being well gasket is on the way. Well materiel to make one anyways. had a chat with a supplier who supply natural rubber but they only do it 9mm thick as a minimum  but after a few emails and some pics later half a square meter is on its way to me on a pallet with some  material I brought from work. We see on Tuesday

i,d have just cut up an old inner tube
