Piping
Phil, I think what goes between the fender and the cowl is a black, vinyl impregnate, piping. Imagine folding the material in a u and stitching it to form a rounded 'bubble' about 3/16" diameter on one side. In other places, there was a 1" web 'anti-squeak' strip between parts. Depending on how urgent, I can get samples of both off my wreck.
For your other question, is that part of the engine cover?
