Heat proofing the cockpit

I used the damplifier in the first link.

I por'd the floor before hand as the paint in spots had worn off over the years.

I'm impressed with the results enough that I'm going to go ahead and order enough to do the interior of my truck as it can also give you the hot foot in the summer.
 
Tons more for the same price?

I still ask: why more than one layer? I found a more than reasonable price for Extreme Dynamat (the more effective and expensive of their products) last year and one layer has been totally effective. I mean totally! Check out this link to my photos of the project:

I got (2) trunk kits of 20 sf each (40 total) at around $120 total (not each) from a web-based business in Santa Ana, Ca.

I did one layer on the floors, tunnel, firewall, and battery well wall and that consumed about 34 to 35 sq ft. I had no waste as I used all scraps for odd shaped areas. It is stiffer to work with, but stays stuck better, especially on any vertical surfaces. As for effort, I only had to install one layer.

How did you get that many layers out of 40 sf? With one layer I had some clearance problems, such as around the e-brake and when reinstalling the bolts for the seat backs, and because of that you will note I did not cover the sills. I was concerned about additional clearance problems, and the sills form an enclosed channel.
 
"Say, is that an SU in your pocket or are ya just happy to see me? "

Whoot, funny line. Wish I had thought of that.
 
Frank - what a great road! Perfect MG country down there.
