Beyond its use in classic car restoration, the Jaguar MK2 Bonnet Rest Seal is also adaptable to other automotive and industrial applications. It can be easily cut and shaped to meet specific requirements, making it an ideal sealing solution for a range of projects.
Superior Material Performance: EPDM
At the heart of this product is expanded EPDM, a highly compressible material known for its durability and excellent sealing properties. EPDM is suitable for a wide range of conditions, providing effective sealing under various environmental factors. Once compressed to about 30%, the Jaguar MK2 bonnet rest seal ensures a long-lasting watertight seal, without the risk of compression set. This makes it an ideal solution for projects that require sustained performance over time.
The seal is resistant to most chemicals, as well as UV light, air, and ozone, ensuring that it will maintain its integrity and sealing capacity over an extended period. However, it is important to note that EPDM is not recommended for use in environments exposed to oil or fuel, as these substances can degrade the material over time.
Easy to Bond
The Jaguar MK2 Type Bonnet Rest Sponge Seal is designed for easy installation on various flat surfaces, including metal, wood, and plastic. To ensure a strong bond, we recommend using a high-quality contact adhesive such as S136 or A262, both of which are available through our website. These adhesives offer excellent bonding strength, ensuring the seal remains securely in place even under varying environmental conditions.
Versatility for Multiple Applications
While this seal was initially created for the Jaguar MK2, its versatility extends far beyond the automotive industry. It can be utilized in industrial applications where a neat, reliable seal is needed, such as in machinery, enclosures, or any environment requiring a high-quality sealing solution.
