The '31 roadster I just bought has old homemade pads between the arm & cowl. Apparently these were not originally used? Do you guys use anything there to keep water from seeping in? What about a small amount of sealer or a thin o ring?

Thanks, Mel :)
 
I'd check to see if the wood blocks are in the inside that prevent dimpling the cowl when you tighten the bracket bolt.
 
I used DUM DUM a lot in the 70's when I was installing aftermarket air conditioners in cars. I haven't looked for it for a long time, but it should still be around.

I wonder if plumber's putty would work. I was rewiring an old Coke machine for a friend a couple weeks ago and we went to the local hardware store to buy some plumber's putty to replace the dried up stuff covering where the wires exit the cooling box.
