Hi

Is it worth putting under bonnet insulation on?

Just glued mine on this week. Never had it before.
Will let you know after the weekend. I know the bulkhead piece made a huge difference
Still feckin noisy though. But I love it

Yep, still noisy but it does stop the drumming effect

Just the Minispares hardura type stuff in triangles.
You can’t get the preformed original stuff anymore
I’ve got one but it’s going on my next car

My Minispares Insulation didn't even last one Day.

I am still on the search of the real thing...

Look at this older tread...

Ooh ‘eck . In fairness it looks pretty resilient stuff. What went wrong?

MS did have a shockingly bad batch a while ago, this just fell apart within minutes of being fitted. This issue has now been resolved.

That explains mine then! I pulled mine from last year out of storage to look into fitting it when the temperatures come up (my spray glue requires it to be at least 16 degrees C) only to find the black material was seperating from the backing already. Thinking I'll have to peel it all off and reglue it properly before trying to fit it to the bonnet.
