The interior of my =E2=80=9962 BT7 is never hot. Here=E2=80=99s why.
=20
The following materials reduce cockpit temperature and dampen sound:
=20
1. Evercoat Q-pads adhered to the metal floor and foot well pans. They =
are similar to the factory installed tar paper; used for sound =
deadening.
2. Dynamat over the Q-pads. If I do this again I would not use the =
Q-pads although they help with sound deadening.
3. Dynaliner over the Dynamat. This is a heat blocker per their website.
4. Firewall =E2=80=93 installed new gourmets, plugged the holes and =
installed tar paper per factor specs.
=20
It works well!

We install Dynamat on all of our interiors. After an simple experiment =
you will see how well it works.
=20
Take a small piece of Dynamat say about a 12=E2=80=9D square piece. =
Stick it to a piece of sheet metal. Then take a heat paint strip gun and =
putt on high and direct it straight at the Dynamat. However first you =
need to heat another piece of sheet metal. Hold your hand on the back =
side of the sheet metal. In a very short time you will not be able to =
touch the sheet metal. Then try the same thing on the piece with the =
Dynamat. =20
=20
I will let you all come up with your own answer. But this is what sold =
me on installing Dynamat on all of our restorations.

I agree with Chris, Dynamat and similar products are pretty well useless =
to stop heat when installed inside the car. They are effective in a =
closed car as sound insulation. I tried it in my Vanguard and Austin =
Utes, it reduced noise but the big problem is the mastic heats up, =
transfers the heat into the aluminium foil coating which then becomes a =
heat radiator. In my Vanguard ute you could fry an egg on the foil after =
45 minutes driving. Heat shields with air gaps under the car between the =
heat source and body is still the best way to go, and if you look at =
modern cars that is how it is done.

When I was restoring my BJ8 (about 6-8 years ago) I tried to compare =
various thermal insulation efficiencies. I.E. "R" values. My primary =
concern was heat not sound. Many of the sources made it nearly =
impossible because they do not publish this information. I just looked =
at Dynamat's website & in a quick search could not find any "R" value =
information. However, I did notice that they seem to be saying Dynamat =
is primarily for sound insulation & their Dynaliner is primarily for =
thermal insulation. Remember that anything you put between the heat =
source & the cockpit will act as an insulator. But some things will be =
better at it than other things. Dynaliner is a closed cell (air spaces) =
rubber material. That sounds similar to neoprene to me. By the way, it =
is the small air spaces that do most of the insulating, not the rubber.
R values are often stated as btuh/inch. So, if something has an R value =
of 8 btu/inch & the material is 1/2" thick it will actually have an R of =
4.=20
This is primarily discussing conduction. Heat is transferred by =
conduction, convection & radiation.=20
The insulation in a Healey will have to be able to withstand relatively =
high temperatures, perhaps water & possibly some abrasion.=20
I am trying to point out that Dynamat appears to not be the best way to =
reduce heat if that is your goal & there is very limited space available =
for good thermal insulation so use the best available after you figure =
out what that is.=20

Bob,
=20
Agree with other posts about replacing grommets, and sealing any gaps =
you find in the engine bay. Any opening will let heat in of course.
=20
I didn=E2=80=99t use any caulking when I installed the tunnel; just the =
factory seals for the tunnel IIRC; But, it=E2=80=99s been =
awhile=E2=80=A6
=20
As far as heat insulation, I used a product called Refletix; =
can=E2=80=99t say it reduced the heat any or not; it=E2=80=99s still hot =
in the footwell. I think if I were doing it today, I=E2=80=99d use =
Dynamat. I just put some in another vehicle as sound insulation and it =
works great for that and is supposed to reduce heat as well. I put the =
Refletix on the gearbox side of the tunnel as it=E2=80=99s rather thick, =
but I think I=E2=80=99d put Dynamat on the inside. It=E2=80=99s very =
thin (but heavy), so I don=E2=80=99t think it would make the carpet =
look too thick. Not cheap, though. Alot of the custom car shops use =
it; Foose, Kindigit, etc.
=20
BTW, Dynamat does make an entire kit for one of the big =
Healey=E2=80=99s; Don=E2=80=99t recall which one, but its on their =
website and should be a custom fit. Should work on all big =
Healey=E2=80=99s I would think.
=20
I need to pull my tunnel off as well to replace the gearshift boot; may =
put some Dynamat in there as long as I have it off.
=20
Hope this helps,
Frank
