I bet you hated to have to drink four beers to bleed your brakes. The things we do for our cars. I think my brakes will need bleeding tonight.

We used 4 of the very large kitchen sponges and silicone to attach them on the glass hood of our Nova. They are about 3" thick and shaped like the number 8 or an hour glass for lack of a better description.

Put them on around 1990 or so and they are still in use today. :shock: Sure doesn't seem like it was that long ago.

Thanks, and no heat issues? My foam is getting a little crusty and I fear it will scratch the paint.

Well there hasn't been up till now, but I can't guarantee anything.

I like the sponge idea ! If used, might want to place them where the heat isn't as intense. Plus if you blew an oil line, they could soak up a lot of oil and all you'd have to do is squeeze it out into a container ! :D :D :roll: :roll:
