Default Foam needed on top and sides of radiator?

Looking to do my radiator within the next couple weeks and noticed that the foam that is located on both sides and the one on top is beginning to wear apart. Only problem is that I cannot find those parts anywhere. Is it even needed? Thanks...

Yes, they are needed - get suitable foam from a home repair center or a plumbing supply store.... Not sure if Jaguar would carry the foam.

i replaced my radiator about 2 years ago ( took me 6 months to do the job right ) and the did not put the foam back in there. NO problem for me so far but i did pay $600 for a new radiator
