[Healeys] Healey Floor Heat

Fri Apr 8 14:52:31 MDT 2016

I have had success using the stuff from Home Depot (Called Reflectix) bonded to Dynamat with 3M adhesive.  Cuts down some noise as well as the heat.

Guys,???? What is the best to use for floor heat? Dynamat?? I read that Dynamat is good for sound deadening (SP?), but no mention of heat.? Obviously I would like to cut the road noise, but I think heat takes first consideration.? There have been cheap alternatives mentioned in the past.? What is everyone using?Mike MacLean

LOTTERY money is to fund the public purchase of the Warwick Healey Motor
Company Archive, it has been announced today, Tuesday.

Warwickshire County Council has been successful in its bid for ?51,300
to help buy the collection and also create a new archive featuring an oral
history collection of memories from former employees and those with family
connections to the company.

In addition, ten schools will help Heritage and Culture Warwickshire pilot
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) workshops engaging
children with the engineering and technological know-how behind the Healey
brand.

The lottery money was the final piece needed to purchase the collection
which included funding from the PRISM fund (Preservation of Industrial and
Scientific Material), Friends of National Libraries, King Henry VIII Trust
Warwick, Head 4 Healeys Ltd, Friends of Warwickshire County Record Office,
Warwickshire Industrial Archaeology Society and a number of generous
private donations.

The fundraising campaign was also promoted in the January-February edition
of the *Austin-Healey*magazine, a magazine produced by the Austin Healey
Club USA (AHCUS), which has members is 29 countries and almost every state
in America.

It will now take pride of place amongst Warwickshire?s valued archive
collections at Warwickshire County Record Office.

Once the project is complete the collection will be available to anyone
wishing to use it for research and will stand as a permanent legacy to the
achievement and ingenuity of the Healey family in Warwick, the birthplace
of the company.

The Healey Motor Company was founded in 1945 by Donald Healey, a successful
car designer and rally driver. It was based in an old aircraft components
factory off Millers Road in Warwick.

It produced two-seater sports cars until 1953 when Mr Healey began a
partnership with the British Motor Corporation to produce cars under the
Austin-Healey marque and then West Bromwich-based Jensen.

The company archives consists of 20 large boxes of material, including
unique, early R&D designs, business records, printed material and
correspondence of the company?s involvement in motor racing and test
results for land speed records. There are also numerous photographs of
various Healey models including action shots and celebrities.

It was put up for sale at a cost of ?120,000 by the grandchildren of the
car company?s founder, Donald Healey.

Cllr Jeff Clarke, Warwickshire County Council?s Portfolio holder for
Heritage and Environment, said: ?We are thrilled to have received the
support of the Heritage Lottery Fund.

?The project reminds us all of Warwickshire?s proud manufacturing and
motoring heritage and that Warwickshire is a great place to do business.

?I am confident the project will support young people to develop new skills
and an interest in their local heritage.?

Cllr Philip Johnson, chairman of the council?s Communities Overview &
Scrutiny Committee, added: ? How fitting that the Healey archive should
find a home in the town where the early models were conceived and built.
The company made an important contribution to the identity of post-war
Warwick with its Cape Road works and showrooms in Coten End?

There will be some Healey cars on display at a Vintage Fair at St John?s
House, Warwick, on Sunday, 10th April, from 11am to 4pm.

Entry is free, with stalls, a vintage hair stylist as well as archivists
from Warwickshire County Record Office and a glimpse of some treasures from
the Warwick Healey Motor Company Archive.

sexism aside, you can just use a heat gun. They are cheap and have black
handles. helpful for getting your rag top (hood) or tonneaue cover on when
its cold. I have been heat shrinking tube on my new wire harness with it too

Mike
I had Koolmat put in my BT7. Just returned from a 2500 round trip to TX from Chicago, on the days I wanted heat none to be found. Also on days I did not want heat again none to be found. Not cheap but it works.

I used Dynamat, Dynaliner and something called Q-PAD, a felt/tar impregnated base layer similar to the original. For me, this combination has tamed the heat.

Guys,

     What is the best to use for floor heat? Dynamat?  I read that Dynamat is good for sound deadening (SP?), but no mention of heat.  Obviously I would like to cut the road noise, but I think heat takes first consideration.  There have been cheap alternatives mentioned in the past.  What is everyone using?

Hey Ira.
If you've got to go upstairs to the ensuite to get your wife's talcum powder, you might as well grab her hairdryer as well....
;-)
And I wasn't being sexist. It's just that I don't own a hairdryer or talcum powder.
But, if it's more politically correct, please feel free to use your boyfriend's talcum powder/ hairdryer/ heat gun.
Just joking. My writing style is best described as "attempted humor". Sometimes the story itself gets distracted in my mind by my joke. I was channeling my late great mate Charlie Britten when I wrote this. And we thought it was hysterical!!

Best
Chris
