Subject:Engine lid insulation material?
From:neil N
Date:Tue, 15 Jul 2008 09:04:45 -0700

Hi all

Had some good hot/noisy/smelly "open engine compartment" test drives
on my Jetta conversion recently, so am now cutting and tubbing the
engine lid. Searched the archives, but didn't find what I'm looking
for.

I'll use the stock engine lid insulation, but need more to cover the
added ~ 4" x 22" pieces.

Anyone know of a suitable/safe material available at a
hardware/building supply store or my FLAPS?

For odd duck things like this, it's a miss/hit affair finding someone
in these places that knows what they're talking about, so appreciate
any help. I imagine the material should withstand a certain degree
(pun intended!) of heat hence my question of a "safe" material.

Am I relegated to the boneyard? --- :^)

Please and thanks,

Neil.
