firewall inside insulator? What is a good way to insulate the inside of the firewall of my '31 Tudor, nothing fancy but effective from the engine summer heat and noise while touring? "Miss Minnie" is a traveling lady that loves the open road. Even so, she still has to do the local errands with me! Thanks, Jim G.

Re: firewall inside insulator? I bought a piece of black carpet runner from Home Depot. The backside has a nice pebble grain which looks nice facing out. Make a template out of cardboard and trim to fit. Attached to firewall with a couple of small bolts and fender washers. Add some felt-type padding underneath for additional sound deadening (used in hot rods). Looks good, effective and inexpensive.

Re: firewall inside insulator? Foil covered bubble insulation from Lowes, a can of contact cement, can of spray paint if you don’t like the silver color. Works great. The suppliers sell metal plates to go around the steering colum and pedals. Easy and cheap.

Re: firewall inside insulator? Google Quick Roof. This is what the VW guys use. I did the inside of my 66 bug and it works really well.
On my A I also wrap my exhaust with header wrap. |

Re: firewall inside insulator? Those are made for LHD cars, probably will not work on RHD.

Re: firewall inside insulator? I use the firewall insulation from Brattons like pictured in post number 2 . I installed mine when I was building up my roadster and 31 tudor . I installed mine before installing the gas tank and wiring ...The firewall insulator help keep some of the heat out of the cab , it also insulates out some of the sounds . I also use the foil covered bubble insulation under the floor mats and a muffler heat shield to assist in keeping the floor as cool as possible st .
If for whatever reason that the insulator may need to be removed later will be a real pain !!! To remove without damage it will be necessary to remove the choke , gas lines , wiring and probably the gas tank . |
