Body INSULATION
So what is your favorite method of insulating the body? A search showed me nothing though I would have sworn I have seen posts on this subject.
How good is carpet padding to insulate the firewall and under the carpet? Will liquid nails hold it in place in the hotter spots as behind the manifold? Thanks for any insights Dave M Arthur |

Re: Body INSULATION
Also search on HAMB. I think I have read about using the stick on insulation available from Home Improvement stores but search HAMB.

Years ago I had to sound deaden some construction equipment to satisfy MSHA, (mine safety health administration) and it was scary quiet when I was done. But it cost a fortune. I guess you get what you pay for because it was much more expensive than dynamat. Most of it was different thicknesses of lead impregnated sheets of rubber. Very heavy weight. Some was foam. On the floor under the mat of my Model A I used some 3/8" felt and while it didn't help that much to cut the noise, my floor mat does not get hot. I haven't tried it yet but if you look at a lot of modern cars firewall on the engine side, they have insulation of some kind with a cardboard type cover over the insulation. I think that might help a lot, but I haven't tried it yet. Last edited by denniskliesen; 07-14-2018 at 04:46 PM. |
