When I did the body work on my `4 I used various diameters of
tubular closed cell foam. It was flexibe enough to bend aroud the
gentle curves of the wheel well lip and on the bonnet curves. You
might want to check out your local hardware store for pipe insulation
or a pool supply house for children's floatation devices. Pipe
insulation comes pre-split which makes it easier to insert the
end of a long sheet of abrasive paper then wrap it down the length
diagonally (like the stripes on a candy cane).
