Designed for the Triumph Stag and Beyond

It can also be adapted for use in bespoke industrial environments. The seal is designed to slide effortlessly into a channel, holding itself securely in place. For added peace of mind, you can further reinforce its hold using a high-quality adhesive (S136) or silicone sealant (S138), both of which are available on our website.
EPDM Rubber: The Ideal Material for Durability
What sets this hood seal apart is the material used—EPDM rubber. Known for its resilience and versatility, EPDM is an excellent choice for both automotive and industrial applications. It has superior resistance to a wide range of substances, including most chemicals, UV light, air, and ozone. However, it’s important to note that EPDM is not recommended for environments where it may come into contact with oil or fuel, as these substances can compromise the integrity of the material.
EPDM rubber is similar in hardness to the rubber used in car tyres, with a Shore A hardness of approximately 70°. This gives the Triumph Stag Hood Rubber Seal the perfect balance of flexibility and durability. The material can withstand extreme temperature fluctuations, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +120°C, making it suitable for all weather conditions.
Applications Beyond the Triumph Stag
While the Triumph Stag Hood Rubber Seal is designed with a specific application in mind, its versatility makes it an excellent choice for a range of other uses. Whether you're restoring another classic car, working on a modern vehicle, or even engaging in bespoke industrial applications, the seal’s profile and high-quality EPDM material ensure it meets your needs.
Easy Installation and Maintenance
Installing the Triumph Stag Hood Rubber Seal is a straightforward process. The seal simply slides into a channel where it holds itself securely in place. For additional security, especially in more demanding conditions, you can apply a suitable adhesive or silicone sealant to ensure the seal stays in place over time. Maintenance is minimal, but regular inspection is advised to ensure the seal remains intact and functional, especially in older vehicles where seals may wear down more quickly.
Conclusion
The Triumph Stag Hood Rubber Seal is an essential component for maintaining the integrity of your vehicle, whether you're restoring a classic Triumph Stag or working on other projects. Manufactured from high-quality EPDM, it offers exceptional resistance to environmental elements, ensuring longevity and performance. Its versatility makes it a perfect choice for a variety of automotive and industrial applications, while the ease of installation and reinforcement options provide added flexibility for any project.
