Your blower foam repair inspired me to check the condition of my foam Andrew.

Mine had deteriorated (felt a bit mushy/crumbly) but it was still fairly intact, so I was able to take some measurements. It was approximately 15mm high by 15mm wide.

So, after a bit of searching I found this:

(Be sure to select the 15mm wide stuff).

On my first fitting attempt, copying the original foam, I tried separate lengths with mitred corners. That worked but I decided there was a neater, quicker solution, so I ripped it off and instead used a single piece, joined at the back. The foam goes around the corners easily and, done this way, it's a 5 minute job.
