Defender sound insulation - what to use/where to buy?

[86mud]

Hi all

I know this a popular thread and there are many posts about it. I am just trying to find out where to buy it.

I have found this one on ebay:

Body Deadener Sound Heat Proofing EPDM Aluminium Foil | eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Body-Deadener-Sound-Heat-Proofing-EPDM-Aluminium-Foil-/280711504393?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item415bb5a209)

This one is +/- 5mm thick

Or this one:

https://www.whitworths.com.au/main_itemdetail.asp?cat=126&item=80204&intAbsolutePage=1&LinkedItem=80202&search123=sound%20proofing

The one from Whitworths is +/- 25mm thick

Cheers
Andrew

I bought 10mm foil backed, non-adhesive stuff by the metre from Clark Rubber and attached it with 25mm self adhesive Velcro so it can be removed for cleaning and corrosion inspection. Stuck it both sides of the firewall (rated to 105 degrees). I think it was about $30/linear metre (1100 or 1200mm wide - can't remember). I'm sure there are other more trade/industrial type places that would have it cheaper (UES perhaps?). Clark Rubber is more the Mum and Dad/retail type supplier.

Clark rubber is rudely expensive and their prices vary throughout different parts of Sydney - they lost my business a long time ago.

I agree. I only go there when I'm desperate, or too lazy to look around.

Just get your radio fixed so you can go back to turning up the volume.

I have recently gone through a similar process. There are a number of suppliers and many different materials, some great and some not so good. Also a huge price range.

I used a product from a company Thermotech, here in Sydney. They had a minimum order quantity of $300, which bought 3 rolls of sound reducing material. One roll is almost enough to complete 1 vehicle and I have completed 2 Defenders to date.

Andrew, try these guys

Daley's - auto marine and upholstery supplies.
18 Lombank Street Acacia Ridge, 3717 3900

You may to go there, but they have 5 or 6 sound proofing materials. I think two thickness in that silver foil your looking for.
They also have the vinyl matt with the foam behind it that matches Defer original sound proofing.

I bought self adhesive 5mm nylon faced foam which worked well. It's sold as under bonnet sound and heat insulation. $55 1500x1000 per roll. sticks well and pliable.

I don't think they are out there on their pricing, but for me it was about convenience as they are just around the corner.
