Sound Deadener/ Floor Heat Shield
Created on 2006-03-26 20:18:18
I didn't get much garage time this weekend, but I did manage to install sound deadener/heat shield on my floors and cockpit. After reading...

I chose Second Skin Damplifier. It has similar characteristics as Dynamat at a slightly better cost. $110 shipped for 40 sq ft. It's also a buytle/aluminum product versus asphalt with much higher heat tolerances. I found it very easy to install. The worse part was cutting the aluminum. It did a number slicing and dicing my hands! (it hurts to type!) The sheets are 12x24". I put it over the truck bed liner which is on the bottom and top of my floor boards. I'm hoping the combination will cut down on the heat and rattles. I've already noticed that my B has a nice luxury car "thud" when you close the doors or knock on the floor.
Next step will be to install the interior. I'm still waiting on the zinc plater for a bunch of bits and pieces.. It been almost two months now! Arrrg!
PS - I also need to extend thanks to Frank (MGBjockey) for his help and feedback on this project.
