My bulkhead looks good. This is from the inner wing repair under the brake servo.

I guess that's "Manufacture" date, should be fine. Unscrew the nozzle and check you haven't gone hard

I got some gutter sealant too, would that work ok?

No idea sorry

It sounds like it should do it. Is it a stay flex type or a fully cure one ?

I am a big fan of glass fibre thin sheet matting - the one thats like tissue paper. Dab it in place and then wet the matting with resin. Takes up all the shapes round welds etc and keeps the water out.

You will need a fan heater to help it cure this time of year.

I did the whole boot floor from underneath on an old Mini and it never rotted again in the 12 years I had it !

You can use a winter accelerant for low temp curing.

I was using Tigerseal last week and the end of my sealant gun came off, I'd had that gun for about ten years, I was gutted!

I had one of those cheap pressed steel ones in the garage as a spare, so I tried that, it crumpled in my hand.

I ordered one of these and it's worth the money, I'm hoping it'll be the last one I have to buy ever!

Tigerseal works best when it's warm, maybe stand in a bucket of hot water before use at this time of year.

Just to update this thread for others in the future.
It was easier to unbolt the servo from underneath the steering wheel. Only 4 x 13mm nuts and a very simple to remove pin (like what girls put in their hair). Then some pliers onto the mushroom end and push the bolt through the brake pedal. The 4x13mm are much easier with a deep socket + extension bar, spanner will do but it takes longer and your bent double under the pedals so quicker is good. Back to the engine bay, I unclipped a couple of brake lines and slid out the brake fluid bottle to give a bit more room.
I wedged the servo with a well placed screwdriver.
Just enough room for the sealant gun. Not a pretty job but It's rained today and so far I have dry carpets.

I read the title of this thread, and thought you were looking for a "Silencer"... very 007...

If the leak is not fixed, I am going shoot the car.. quietly...
