Title: Help - Foam Packaging for HEQ5 Mount Head
Post by: Roy on Jan 19, 2014, 11:15:23
Can anyone recommend somewhere where we could get some foam cut the shape of our HEQ5 mount head inside our Pelicase lookalike? We think there used to be somewhere near Bromley common.

Many thanks

Sue and Roy

You need to get very high density foam. Normal foam has too much air inside and will get squished.

Try these guys:- http://www.efoam.co.uk/foam-types.php

Or eBay is a good place.

There is  a shop near Bromley bus garage in a small parade of shops that sell foam offcuts. Give that a try.
