I replace it with polyurethane foam I buy at an upholestery shop: 1/2" med density foam. I can sell you a precut piece if you like. It can be glued in place with gasket cement. It's important that this foam be the to avoid cooling air leaking around the cooler. You're also right in gettin the crud cleaned away from the fins. Clean them out and straighten them up. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
