Robert, I completed my bj8 restoration last August and used a company called
Automotive Insulation to send their product for my under carpet and tranny
cover insulation.  I think it works very well, I live in North Carolina so it
gets pretty hot here in August and September.  My feet were just as cool as
when I drive our Solstice.  It is not very thick, just a little thinner than
the backing that heritage uses on their carpets so it does not interfere with
seat runners.  You can cut it with scissors easily and it is a closed cell
foam with aluminum foil on both sides, it will not absorb water and get
spongy.  This company specializes in hot rod and racing insulation.  I will
send their link in an attachment to you.  Oh, it is $29.95 plus $8.50 shipping
for a 4'X10' roll.  I bought 2 rolls and some foil tape, the tape is not
needed.  There was just about 1/2 a roll left after doing my cockpit side
firewall, both floors from toe boards to the heel boards, and both sides of
the tranny cover.  Just use a little 3M spray adhesive on the areas you want
to stick it to, wait a few minutes and stick it down.  Throw your carpet back
over it and you're good to go.  I did put tar paper down directly on the metal
floor as original without glue on it.  Hope this helps. Take care, George
