Default radiator foam ?

guys there was strips of foam surrounding my radiator. any suggestions on replacement? i was thinking about weather stripping? im sure it would be cost prohibitive to buy pre cut strips from a dealer, but im not sure what to use in its place.

Probably any foam that is intended for a high temperature environment.

Most of that foam is protective and or sound dampening foam. If you find a similar density foam that will hold or stick.m, it should work.

i did find something very similar at an auto parts store finally, but it was very expensive. i settled on some decent stuff from lowes, which when presses lay flat to work with then filled the void. even better
