CARPET

[DHGTR]

now then , this is a refreshing change to the technical ls7/charger/bouncing valve type questions. has any one put sound deadening material under their carpet? do you use seperate pieces of carpet for the pedal floor/under the seats/over the centre spine?

oh and get ready for the post with lots of explitives on it, hoping to do the headlight covers over the weekend.

Sound deadening from Noise Killer under floor carpet only in seat area. Give the seat runner area a wide berth as you'll foul the mechanism otherwise.

Carpet on the footwell area and on the vertical sides of the heel pad area.

Rubber liner to heel box from Wollies. Ribbed with lined running longitudanally so as not to catch your heel on it. Put this in after the carpet so you can replace it if it wears out.

I did my carpet in patch work keeping the joints as low in the car an out of the way of catching any crud etc.

Hi Pete very much the same as lucky. No sound deadening as in Canam seamed pointless. One section of carpet seats forwards turned over chassis rail and foot box again in rubber. Cut carpet around and into passenger footrest. Two separate sections under and behind seats. I had mine attached by strips of Velcro which has worked for a couple of years. A very wet Le Mans has caused it to unstick. I will reattach this way as it has made drying and cleaning carpet much easier. I am seriously considering covering sides and over luggage containers but yet to work out how. Just because continually polishing ali a bit tedious. Good luck.

Thanks for that chaps - so much easier to understand than how much boost to put through the wiper arm to stop valve bouncing on the rear lights

There seems to be a fair bit of choice, what is a good match??? I seem to remember someone having some sound proofing was it adheisve or stickable??
