Just admiring your roof. .was the 450 the vertical or the horizontal? Slap is that a rubber seal around the inner frame?

Thanks for the comments guys. Cog box were only interested if I did a full gearbox recondition. 2k+ I think I'm just going to wait for Aidan

Wow Citizen my engine isn't that smooth

I will buy some more to do the front. 5mX0.5 only just covered the engine bay. Want to do the front cab. The guy also advised me to put a square (as opposed to completely cover) on each panel to help take out the rattles. I will insulate with their another product with is like a 22mm foam with foil ...

Thanks I think I will have to change the cog anyway as Aidan said that my engine probably doesn't like running over 3000rpm at 70

Just wanna say that I fitted a product called Dead Mat that I bought from eBay around my engine bay and it has made a massive difference to the noise. I did it myself. and saved about 50% compared to noise killer.

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers
