[Healeys] Insulation Recommendations

[wilkmanracing at aol.com]

The thing I don't like about the Dynamat is its weight.? My guess is it would?also be one heck of a job to remove should one want to go back to stock.? I used it on my MGA, but would hesitate to use it on any of my othere LBCs.

Dynamat is useful as a sound deadener, not so much for thermal insulation. I
got some stuff from a local upholstery shop. I don't know what it's called,
but it is a grey synthetic felt with a foil backing. I used it in place of the
jute carpet pad.

Everything got wet and stayed wet.  I removed the carpet when I returned home
so that it would dry.  The insulation material installed 8-10 years ago was
shot.  I had to pitch it.  So now I need to put something new in before
reinstalling the carpet.

I also know that Koolmat is becoming popular too. I am leaning toward the
Xtreme & Pad combination, but before I decide which way to go, I was wondering
if anyone had good experience with any other options.  Given the expense I
hope this is the last time I have to do this.
