Dear, the parts I just sold paid for that part ;)  Group: Members Posts: 1,568 Joined: 26-December 02 From: Williamsburg, VA Member No.: 16  |
What type of under pad are you putting under your 914's carpet.
Does the foil backed stuff from JC's work? I would like something that will not soak up water like a sponge. Cheers Kerry |

I guess drugs would be the obvious answer....
I used a vibration dampening mat. It's very heavy. I also used it on the firewall and under the seats and on the front trunk and rear trunk floors. It definitely cut the sound down. McMaster-Carr - Do a search on Vibration and select Vibration Control Compounds. http://www.mcmaster.com/ I got the cheapest one. I also bought a 5 gallon pail of the paint stuff to use inside the doors and the wheel wells, but haven't done it yet. I figure I've added 50 lbs to the car.... James |

Take a quick visit to your local auto body supply store.
They usually have several flavors of sound-proofing available, and you can choose one that you like best. -Rusty |

I didn't put anything under mine when it went back in after rust removal.
Right now there's a big discussion of several sound deadening products over on the 911 pelican list. Mark S. '70 914-6 |

Use Jute. Dont glue it all, just the coners. If it gets wet, replace it. Less exspensive...
