Hood/Bonnet insulation

Post by ATR84 » Wed Feb 27, 2019 2:04 pm

My hood/bonnet insulation has seen better days and I would like to replace it with a good condition one. It looks like someone has torn parts off it in the past, who knows why.

The part I am talking about is the insulation attached to the underside of the bonnet which becomes visible upon opening the bonnet.

Thanks
Mike

Thanks both. Happy not to have it there but am worried about it getting too hot under there without it and ruining the paint??

It wont ruin the paint. Paid bubbles around 150deg c.
The rocker cover won't get above 90deg c. Indirect heat from the zorst is around the same.
