I will treat myself to some acid and give it a try, thanks.

Just showed the wife the remains of the sound deadening pads and she said "ah no you're not putting that back in there are you?" :?:

One sheet is fine

Boatbuilder - as a bit of a noise freak myself I wondered about using a product from these folks - and they'll deliver almost anywhere (a treat for those of us in Highland) quite cheaply.

Just measured my old one and for the metal clips to hold it, it would have to be over 1 metre in length - SMcKnighty how did you get by with one sheet 95cmx95cm? Join in the middle or something?

Big piece is 110cmx53cm
Small piece is 110cmx17cm

I can get this stuff locally - http://www.soundinsulation.ie/acoustic- ... -foam.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

or better still...

Will ring him tomorrow to see if he'll give me half a sheet.

The sheets from the ASAP shop are quite small so you'd need two of them...

Just rang soundinsulation.ie
He is giving me a sheet of 22mm marine acoustic foam (as per photo above) big enough to do two vans for 100 euro! :ok

Impressive! Do let us know how well it works when installed, (and how easy to install...)
