Chris,

The stuff I am using is basically bubble wrap wrapped in foil.  Go to
homedepot.com and type "insulation" into the search box.  It is the first
product that comes up.  I don't know if this is the best stuff for this
application, but I really don't want to use stuff that holds water.  Can
anybody weigh in on this?

Thanks,
Jake

Jake I'm at the same pointg in a similar project with my 86 westy
(though I am not facing the adhesive issue... my insulation appears to
have just been placed inside. What "non water vapor" insulation are
you using?
