Trans. hump sealant - recommendations?

[patrickdotryan]

All - long story, but after a problem with the wrong paint color for the rust touch ups on my floorboards, I'm going to have to remove the tranmission hump cover and original sealant to get a good blend with the original paint. Once I do that, I would like to put it back to just how it came from the factory.

What has anyone here used to mimic that same black, sticky sealant? Recommendations?

Also, is it the same stuff that was used on the seat bolt holes (lower middle of photo below)? That stuff seams harder and not sticky.




Thanks, Patrick in San Diego

Good evening Patrick,

Recently I was looking for the sealant that's sandwiched between the inner and outer fenders, and was directed to use 3M Strip Calk, P/N 08578.

I'm pretty sure the same material was also used under the perimeter of the hump cover. That's what I'm planning on using there!

Here's the thread where I received this great advice, including lots of detailed photos of the material. You can also click on the photos for extreme close-up views, if you wish.

Insulation between inner and outer fenders: which type?

I love your truck's color Patrick!!! I hope this stuff works out for you.

Thanks Robroy, that is very helpful. Funny, with Prairie Yellow (read, baby poo yellow or mustard), people either love it or hate it. It is a very "70's shag carpet" kind of a color. Cheers, Patrick in San Diego

the strip caulk is not a good water seal the the stuff under the hump is dum dum / or ribbon here is a 3/m part number for a 5/16 bead 15 ft #08611 strip caulk is correct between fender and inner we use it on high end restorations cause it is correct but it is not as soft and sticky as ribbon. wes
