Nice one @Deaky good to have a tour. In actual fact @DubiousEngineering i think you’ve found a excellent idea to see around all the amazing vans that we see photos of but by way of interview style
After a long winter break... and also beca I’m on furlough... I’m working on the van again! Sound damping the cab and front doors... adding extra seals and wearing a BRA!
Sound damping the front doors!
Sound damping the front doors!
Thanks Ollie!!! It’s a long road ... take your time and stay patient... do your research and make sensible decisions based on what you want and can afford... thanks for your kind feedback... stay safe mate
@simon ... thanks man!
Door seal - VW T5 T5.1 T6 Transporter Door Seal + Dash Trim Combo 798068918954 | eBay - There are cheaper varieties out there, but I wanted proper 3M glue
The Bra was a kind donation to the channel... no idea who makes that. I’ve been told to watch out for trapped water causing problems... I’ll keep an eye on it.
The matting was left overs from the main retrofit. It’s not hard to find on eBay.

Great vid.... saw one guy also put matting on the outer skin and back of the door cards ?
was thinking of put any spare matting under the bonnet do you think it would help?
Be careful putting matting under the bonnet - it may get hot, fall off and cause a fire... definitely research that a little more

Would have thought all sound deadening should be fire resistant though?Be careful putting matting under the bonnet - it may get hot, fall off and cause a fire... definitely research that a little more

Hi L
Thanks for your enquiry.
I can confirm That Silent Coat 2mm Deadening mats are suitable for underbonnet use. I have attached a data sheet for your information.

DESCRIPTION
Silent Coat Mat is an elastomeric, butyl and aluminium constrained-layer vibrational damper.
Silent Coat Mat conforms and fuses easily to sheet metal and other hard substrates. Material performance is optimised for temperature ranges between -10°C to +60°C (14°F to+140°F). Material can withstand temperature extremes between -54°C to +149°C (-65°F to +300°F) and is highly resistant to ageing.
APPLICATIONS
Silent Coat Mat can be cut to shape and placed onto the body surface after sheet metal cleaning operation and prior to paint system (typically at the sealer application operation) or on painted panels. Silent Coat Mat is used as treatment for metal panels, partitions, doors, panels etc. in cars, buses, vans and other vehicles.
It is also used for ventilation ducts, relay cabinets, steel furniture, home appliances, sink units, computer equipment, machine tools and for many other purposes.
INSTALLATION
Silent Coat Mat should be cut to the desired size before the release liner is removed. It may be cut with scissors, knife or die. Remove dust, grease, moisture, and other foreign matter from the application surface. Peel off the release liner. The simplest application technique is to bend the mat slightly and attach it along its shortest edge. The mat is then pressed firmly into place, preferably with a roller for larger pieces. This reduces the risk of leaving air pockets, which reduce the sound damping capacity. The temperature of the mat and application surface should not be below room temperature during fitting. Heating the material is not necessary.
