[s-cars] Gasket/Seal for Heater Box?

[Joshua Van Tol]

I bought the real deal. Next time (perish the thought) I wouldn't bother.
It was just closed call foam, nothing special, glue on one side (the heater
box side) only. The stuff from HD will work fine. You'll need some thinner
open cell stuff to re-seal the duct outlets for the dash vents and the foot
well ducts.
