I was taught the RTV trick by an engine builder decades ago. Even later I found
a front sealing block that didn?t even have the slot for the woody wedgies and
was installed with a complete RTV seal.

PS, I have wood in my Spitfire, as a spacer inside the fiberglass hood roughly
where the latches were on the metal one.

I continue to use the wood pieces with success. Hey... it's a British car. You
need wood somewhere!

i?ve used the black neoprene with no issues - they did require some trimming.
Lots of permatex ultrablack.

The new Payen gasket sets appear to come with neoprene pieces in place of the
conventional wood wedges for use on the front sealing blocks, Spitfire and TR6
related. These neoprene pieces suck for lack of a better term. Years ago a
local British shop commented that he didn't use the wood wedges, he used RTV in
place of them. Has anybody here used RTV or "The Right Stuff" to fill in the
voids in place of the wood wedges with success, or failure for that matter?
Thanks,
Marty
