Foot box insulation Tape

[Cleve]

Getting ready to put the body on. I need to put that insulation tape on the side of the foot box. What size do I need and where can you find it?
Thanks

I'm not entirely sure I follow, but if you're asking about tape to seal the panel joints you can use HVAC aluminum tape available at any of the home improvement stores. If you're using peel-n-stick insulation, you can skip the aluminum tape & use the insulation to cover the joints. There are lots of options for insulation; I used Dynamat (3 boxes worth for the cockpit & trunk). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00020CB2S?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_ti tle_1&th=1

I think you are talking about the insulation to close the gap between the outside of the footbox and the body? I believe people are either using cutup pool noodles or AC insulation foam like you would find at Home Depot/Lowes/Menards/Fleet Farm/ACE etc.

Here is an example. The site is being wonky and I can't find all the sizes but here is an example:

This is what I used between the footbox and the body.

Run down to your local Lowes, Home Depot or hardware store and pick up a package of 2 1/4" window air conditioner insulating foam and a can of 3M Super 77 spray contact cement.
