    Noise and Heat Insulation

    Firstly let me assure you I have searched and read various threads on sound proofing and insulation, however many of these are now quite old.

    Naturally I am looking for an inexpensive (or at least not very expensive) solution.

    Of particular interest:

    1. I need to re-do my roof lining. Will be sticking something direct to the roof panels. Was thinking of using marine carpet or similar - suggestions for a good material ?

    2. Trans tunnel, floors, seat box - to reduce heat (esp noticebale at the trans tunnel) and noise.

    3. Under - bonnet. The standard rubbish is coming off and I ant to replace it with... ? Also has anyone put seals around the bonnet to stop the escape of noise from the rear and sides of the bonnet ? if so - what / how ? (and did this have any negative effect on cooling) ?

    Any other suggestions also welcome.

    I'm especially interested in opinions f those with direct experience - both things you;ve done that you like, and things you may have done and regret (always best to learn from others mistakes)

    Thank you all.

    me an dad fully did my fender day after we got it from the dealer, tranz tunel, seats floors everything,,, roof, boot,

    but probly the best thing we ever did was put a big thick cote of tar stuff in the wheel arches, made the bigest diff from when rocks fly off the weels on dert roads, now we cant here eny at all,,

    the sound/ heat stuff we used was like a insulator we got from clark rubber, i cant remember the prices(as it was 4 yrs ago), but it was well worth it, my car you can be doing 110 and have the radio on and still talk normaly, its unbeleavabul how much of a diff it made, but deffs do the roof,,, stoped a lot of heat in mine,,, as my car it gun gray,

    was alot of work and brocken clips tho, but well worth it,

    I've used Dynamat on any panel that can drum. Very good but does cost a bit...saying that, I think it was worth ever cent considering the difference it made. I bought mine on ebay but you can get it at places that sell the car audio goodies. I wish I had used it to line the roof before I glued the carpet on! Carpet alone doesn't cut it, you need to deaden the panels first. 3m also does a similar product (not quite at good but cheaper), I'll look in the shed to see what it is called.

    Yes brand names and retailers details of any products mentioned in this thread are all very helpful, thanks.

    I can vouch for that stuff in a boat, I have a 4cyl turbo perkins in a 12mm ply box and after I put that stuff in it was at least 75% quieter, it has a thin layer of tar, then foam, then a silver reflective coating.It's also self adhesive.
    Amazing stuff on our boat.

    I'm sure that he could give some feed back on how the stuff worked from his trip through Oz.
