Turkey Pan Rubber Seal
 
I have searched the various forums and still haven't found what I'm looking for.

I need a source for a rubber weatherstrip to seal the space between the top flange of my turkey pan and the bottom of the hood (or bonnet for you English types).

Most I have seen are just a push-on piece that only really covers up the flange and do not extend vertically from the flange.

I'd love to find an L-shaped rubber weatherstrip that pushes onto the flange and then extends an inch or so vertically to seal to the hood.

I have looked at Mcmaster-Carr and Western Rubber with no luck.

Anyone know of a source?

That's pretty close - if it was a 90-degree version to fit the flange, it'd be perfect.

Bingo! Style #10 looks to be the perfect fit.

Cashburn - thanks for locating this - I looked all over the Mcmaster-Carr catalog and didn't find these.

The wife says I'm always looking right at something and not seeing it. I always blamed it on the difference beween estrogen and testosterone - but after further reflection, she may be right..........

Men are hunters. It has to be moving for us to see it. Women are gathers. This is why I'm not able to find static food items in the fridge.:LOL:

I ordered the seal from McMaster-Carr. They delivered it in 24 hours! Fits perfectly. Thanks for the help, guys.

I was a bit confused until I researched the turkey pan further. That's where I found out that the top edge of the pan is not vertical; rather, it is rolled outward until it is horizontal. I can now see why #10 was perfect.

Thanks for posting on this, DougD.....now I plan on researching a turkey pan for the 5.0 HO motor in my 427 body style Cobra replica (but, first, a change of intake maniflod/carb is in order).

Cheers from Dugly :cool:

I have a saying I use often...."I thought I was wrong once, but upon further reflection I realized I was only mistaken." Works for me, doesn't seem to have the same effect on "she who must be obeyed".

That explains why a gallon jug of milk can effectively hide behind a small container of mustard in my refrigerator....and here I thought it was some deficiency on my part, when all along it was related to the particulars of the male DNA genetic code, and therefore not an issue for potential "self-improvement", IMHO :LOL: .

I'll snap some tonight and post. Haven't been back to permanently attach it since a trial fit.

Be sure to confirm the temperature limitations of your final choice of seal...Melting, fire or both would make for a bad day...

DougD 03-03-2011 01:39 PM
It's good to 248 degees F.

Blas 03-03-2011 01:56 PM
Think that's enough?...sunny, hot summer day, end of a spirited drive, car parked in sun, heat soak from engine & headers, no airflow...etc...
Perhaps a MSDS on the foam material you can purchase at JEGS for the same usage would give you a feel for the temperatures commonly found under the hood? Maybe knowing what temp vapor lock occures at will give an indication of the common under hood temperatures you can expect to see...Heck, your coolant is 195 degrees minimum...Just thinking out loud here...
