sankysvr6 0 Posted May 28, 2013 Not sure if its been asked already, but after the recent GB on bonnet insulation was wondering if people have theirs yet and how they went about it. Also if anyone had some handy tips? Have people removed the bonnet to fit them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted May 28, 2013 I fitted mine from the last group buy. Wasn't too hard really. I bought the spray glue it mentions on the instructions, can't remember the name of it. Scotch #80 or something like that. Removing the bonnet would make it easier to do, but i didn't bother. I didn't use the grease proof paper method either. I would practice fitting each piece first, before you spray any glue, then i laid each piece of foam out and sprayed the back, then stuck it to the bonnet and held it there for a while (which is when you get arm ache and start thinking maybe you should've taken the bonnet off :lol: I also had one piece that needed trimming to fit. Crumbly old foam Covered up engine and scrapped foam off Was left with the original layer of glue, which i softened up with white spirit and scraped off with old plastic windscreen scrapers, Takes a while All removed The bit i had to trim All fitted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sankysvr6 0 Posted May 28, 2013 Thanks for that Jim, didnt fancy taking the bonnet off. Looks like you've done a nice clean job. So did you just spray the glue onto the back of the new foam, and not the bonnet as well? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted May 28, 2013 Yeah, i just sprayed it on the foam, you get a few minutes to slide it around and get it in the right position. The only piece i'm having trouble with is the bit on the left side has you look at my last pic, keeps coming unstuck in the bottom right corner as it meets the hump in the bonnet.
