Engine lid insulation

Post by matteo »

Hi,

The engine lid on my van is lined with some kind of fibre, which is retained with thin plastic and wire. I guess it's there to protect against fire, but I'm not sure. With time. the plastic has deterioriated and the fibre now falls down so it's probably resting on the engine - bad news for an Aircooled. 

Does anyone know what this material is, and has anyone tried refurbishing? If so how and with what material?
Cheers,
Matt
