I have seen some options out there,
1. Stock 2. After market a. AA pad b. Rix914parts- modern material, light weight c. dynamat d. 914rubber pad. 3. -others?? Also in the cab, the rubber sound deadener( I assume this was only for sound or vibration, since it is rubber I doubt it did much for heat) - I pull this out it was stock and am trying to decide if I should put it back in again or do dynamat or something like this on the inside firewall before putting the backpad back in |

Inside the cab rubber mat was just for noise that would have come through the large piece of metal. The later cars 73-up got the firewall protection that turn out to be a rust disaster. I am going with the light weight foil application in the engine bay and dynamat in the cab.

I am going with the light weight foil application in the engine bay and dynamat in the cab. so no rubber pad then in your scenario. I did not have rust in my firewall, or engine shelf or hell hole dispite it being an Ohio car initially that moved to California before coming to SC around 2000. My rust was under drivers seat due to leaking window and jack points and rear longs. The original engine compartment sound pad was still in place up to a couple years ago and was really in good condition. Its gone now so I feel like I should put something in its place. If the dynamat one that George has has the reflective backing I will probably go that direction . |
