Dear goodness no don't use silicone sealant! :nonono: The 880 by it's nature will be leaky. If you want to seal it up without going Norm's route (he is right about the material) and want to go more local, go to a fabric shop and get yourself some 1/8" high density foam. (The kind they use to make roll up mats, etc.) You can the make a template and cut what you need. And it's dirt cheap. Michaels craft stores here in the 'States sells the stuff for less than a buck for an 18" x 24" sheet.
Have you tried that idea yourself?

Absolutely! I work out of town so I can't send you a pic at the moment but basically what your doing is making a foam gasket that once you screw the radiator plate down will compress and bite down to seal the gaps. As Norm said this stuff is used on everything from everyday bookshelf speakers to major league mortgage your house speakers. It's also used a baffle material to dampen vibrations and reflective noise from speakers. :-)
