I've pretty much given up on finding a good used or nos firewall padding so wandered if any one has any alternative material ideas, quite like the heat reflective sheets u can get, look like foil but double sided they've used it on overhaulin once for a bulkhead, anyone and ideas or pics they could show me in case I do it and it looks shit?'

 

iv got it on mine mate il tke some pics

 

Cheers mate, seen it on a few cars but never a 3 door

 

Iv only done the lower part mate and transmission tunnel. I left the upper one off

 

I'm wanting to do it where the old cloth type padding went plus round the tunnel and there the exhaust is, I'll go have a looky on tinternet see what I can find but a pic of yours would be appreciated

 

I know what you mean mate but i never did the topsection by the battery etc never thougth there was any point tbh

 

Maybe this stuff would do, says fire retardant so should be up to the job!

thats too thick mate

 

Yeah 12mm does seem a tad thick, I'll keep looking !

 

Iv got the box of what i used mate i doubled it up and used heat tape il get pics up ina hour or so

 

I got mine from Car builder solutions with the adhesive as well

 

I have two very nice original 3dr/rs500 ones available, pm me if interested, these are the ones that wrap around the gearbox tunnel in the engine bay, with the silver section where the downpipe goes, not the one that covers the heater bulkhead.

cheers

Cheers Paul but to be honest I think I'll go for the silver adhesive foil stuff, cars got a motor sport feel to it so I think it'll look good, I'll keep you in mind if it turns out lookin naff tho!
