    Repairing a ASK kit

    Picked up a ASK for my mep002a I noticed some of the insulation is wet and ripped. Has anyone replaced the insulation? It looks exactly like duct insulation. I was thinking of asking a HVAC guy to repair it for me. Any suggestions? Also is there a place i could buy the clamps to shut the doors?
