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 |

I like what I see but I am taking a different approach.
I am using a cut out firewall metal piece as a mold for a carbon fiber duplicate of the firewall. Then I will be applying dynamat or similar to the (removable) carbon back pad shell. The reason for this approach is multi-fold: The backpad, when easily removed, allows us 6-people to access the fan, belt, pulley, crank sensor, etc thru the firewall hatch (a carbon fiber part offered as a kit by ....me...) and the second firewall, although light and movable, also provides sound deadening when in place. Further, and most important, it looks very cool. Once perfected in the shop, I owe the donor of the metal firewall template the second one-off from the mold / then maybe others if interested. Pictures to follow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
