CB400F airbox rubber sealant

(1/4) > >>

AshimotoK0:
Any tips on the type of sealer/mastic to use between the the 400F plastic airbox and the rubber inlets/large oval rubber seal.

In the past I suspect I used this black coloured AS1701 silicone sealant. .. however the tube I have is very old and  has gone solid and it's now £50 a tube.

I found I do have some of this black polyurethane 2-part sealant (out of date but still usable) and I will use this unless anyone can suggest something more suitable.

Would normal Black Silicone Bathroom Sealant do the trick or does it need to be none hardening?
Easy enough to remove last tube I bought was less than £5.00.

Just done this myself using Threebond black RTV silicone sealant.

Sikeflex, spelling could well be wrong mate

I went with the polyurethane material in the end. Supposed to be pretty chemical resistant. The Threebond sounds OK though. It's probably close to the stuff I had in my 1st link.

I don't reckon that the original sealant was silicone ... possibly not in use so much then as an adhesive. From memory Hermetite orange RTV came out in the mid 70's ... you know the dreaded stuff that blocked tiny oil feed holes/ galleries when too much was used.
