[Healeys] Heat Barrier Cloth vs Dynamat

[m.brouillette at comcast.net]

If you are goint to that, don't bother using Dynamat.B  The properties that
make Dynamat would exceltially be lost putting it in upside down.

Alan,

"...two sides sticky weather stripping..." to hold the insulation to the
floor? or to the carpet?

I totally agree, that sticking dynamat over the whole floor just isn't the way
to go. B  My thought of perhaps gluing the insulation to the under side of the
carpet suggested itself to me as I recalled how BMW does their carpets. B 
They
mould the entire one-piece carpet to the foam insulation, so that, during
assembly, the whole unit (carpet with foam attached) can just be dropped into
the car---or, conversely, removed from the car later on as one piece (for
those brave enough to ever want to try that). B  Now, of course, a one-piece
moulded carpet is not possible with a Healey, but, gluing the insulation to
the under side of the carpet might be the next best way to go. B  It has at
least one advantage I can think of, in that it would allow all of the carpet,
and all of the insulation, to be easily removed later, if, for example, I
should ever need to pull the transmission, or the engine/transmission. B  What
do you think?

B B Douglas -

B B This is my thinking. B I think possibly some simple two sides sticky
weather
stripping might be good enough to keep the insulation/heat barrier from moving
about, sticking dynamat to the whole floor just doesn't seem right. B Dynamat
is easy to use for the standard shop guy, but a b**ch for the next person on
the next go around...
