Insulation/sound deadening Herald gearbox tunnel cover

[Morgana]

You have a spare bit of insulation matting that you know will come in useful; I hope to reduce/reuse/recycle rather than buying new. I'm also a skinflint.

Let's get together?

Being a skinflint I've used the underfloor soundproofing from modern cars that the scrapyards usually throw away. Waterproof and usually a few pounds for a huge sheet off the floor of some long-dead modern.

Yes, do not use material that absorbs water or it will live up to its name, soundly deadening your floorpans etc.

Lol love it.

I did this on the Vitesse, replicating the original sound insulation.

Heat Sealed in rubble sacks, so won't get wet.
