Any hardware store sells foam window insulation in 1/2 or 3/4 wide  rolls
sticky on one side.  Wrap it around the core and you're  done.  Dont
use adhesive to stick it to the bottom.  How would you remove  the
next time?
 
SS use to sell the gasket that goes under the bonnet latch.  If  not
make one.
 
Sorry no duckbill here.

quick  questions (didnt find an answer on TE/AE site):

(1) when re-assembling  the heater core, what kind of gasket/stripping do 
folks
use to plant the  core down against the base of the "box", silicone rubber for
heat  resistance?  can seem to find the right stripping,  preferably
self-adhesive.  should the stripping run around the bottom  hole, and also up
the back and top of the core (like in the diagram on SS  web site)?

(2) for the rubber duckbill piece - is it best to install  this part from 
within
the car, or from the box the heater core resides  in?

(3) anyone hanging onto a spare duckbill they'd be willing to sell,  mine was
cracked, hardened and shredded from the arizona  heat

thks!
