164 sound deadening pictures 140-160 1969

Here's a picture of the sound-deadening I put down between the factory layers, under the carpet mat.
I used this stuff called Peel And Seal. It's about the same as Dyna-Mat, only much cheaper. You can wallpaper the whole car with two rolls. Works great.

164 sound deadening pictures 140-160 1969

Hi Jack
Im interested in this Peel & Seal product you used. I see from a Google search that its primarily a roofing product. I also recall that the 164 uses some heavy padding under the carpets that 140's didn't have. From your picture, it looks like you used the 6 inch wide product. I'm looking for a good product for sound & heat insulation for my Duett.

Several questions:
1. Did you use it anyplace beside the floor under the carpet-such as inside doors, under the headliner?
2. Did you use it with the factory mats or instead of them?
3. Product literature didn't mention sound deadening properties. Did it help?
4. Product info was also vague about insulating properties. Did it help there?
5. Now that you've used this product, would you use it again for the automotive application?

Thanks for your comments.
Bob

Hi Bob,

Here's what I know from experience with P & S:
It definitely cuts down on vibration = less noise in the car.
It cuts heat and is waterproof. It goes on easily, cuts with a scissors and sticks very well, provided the surface is CLEAN.
It has a heat tolerance of 150 degrees F.
I noticed a huge improvement after using it and would use it again. Probably would double-layer it now that I know it works this well. My car is quiet inside now and I can hear the radio/stereo/ipod, especially improved is the bass.
To your specific questions:
1) No, I didn't because the factory door anti-vibration panels were in great shape and I had new interior panels that are made of abs plastic sheets, molded to fit, and covered with foam padding and vinyl. The headliner was not in need of repair, thankfully. I would not hesitate to use P & S in either of those places if it was needed.
2) I used P & S over the factory vibration mats, under the rubber-fiber sound deadening mats that were a factory addition on the 164. I was fortunate to still have mine in good condition. It really adds to the overall deadening. You can see the pictures of the three layers in the Gallery. http://www.brickboard.com/GALLERY/
3) What I read about P & S and other products like it, where sound-deadening is concerned, is that they work on sound-deadening by adding mass to panels prone to vibrating, to lower the frequency the panel vibrates at. It then requires more energy to vibrate those panels, thereby deadening the sound. If the P & S is double-thick it's adding more mass, deadening more sound. If you don't have the factory anti-vibration panels there, I would double-layer it. At about $1./sq. ft., why not?
4) As I said, a heat tolerance of up to 150 degrees is certainly adequate for interior floor/firewall installations, or to seal off holes for improved A/C, etc. I noticed a definite improvement. I would think twice before using it in AZ or someplace with sustained high temps of 100+.
5) Yes.
Hope this helps, sorry for the long post.
Jack

Great pictures. This is coming up soon for the 145... Nice to get some recommendations as far as material is concerned.

Looks good but - ¿Have you lost a pedal?

No,
I just pulled it off. It wasn't easy either.
