30mm fits if anybody wants to go thicker on the scuttle.

Thank you, I can’t see the 20mm one just the 30. Would that be too thick for external wheel arches? Thanks

@Firefly84 You’ll need 10mm for the external wheel arches, there’s an Amazon link in the relevant thread.

No issues at all.

@Pewt did it make a noticeable reduction in road noise only I've got a large sheet of similar deadener but the ballache of taking out the seats, seat bases and leisure battery etc. keeps putting me off doing the job.

@Stay Frosty i would say sound deadening the bulkhead made a much bigger difference.

@Stay Frosty i would say sound deadening the bulkhead made a much bigger difference.

Assume you mean bulkhead van side, ie behind the pedals etc, rather than the scuttle side in the engine bay?

I’ve done the scuttle in mine, just wondering what else is going to be worth doing now around the front end.

 

[Pewt]

I was taking about under the scuttle........ An undertray made things quieter.

@vanandme Did you do the scuttle panel also?

 

[vanandme]

@vanandme Did you do the scuttle panel also?

Yes, we did but we have used 10mm closed cell foam from the same company for that area.
We also used the sound deadening as the first layer on the panels, roof and the wheel arches.

Yes do as much as you can. And in the scuttle under the bonnet and fit the all important dust seals. It will make such a difference.

can somebody explain/picture of the scuttle is ....? is this the area exposed when you take the cover off the underside of bonnet, next job for me is the cab insulating and then some new seats
