I think you may try that first and let us know how Grandma's old rug does

Subject: Re: [MBZ] Hood pad life (or lack of)
Why not just get a rattle can of foaming insulation and spray that on?
Would result in the same effect for noise and heat reduction with no
decrease in flammability. You might try some carpet pad and tinfoil
to fake up a workable hoodpad. Might actually be as good as the
factory item

I think what I bought was junk. I am looking for an alternative to the

pad + shipping + glue.
What would a 3/4" thick blue insulation board (like what's on my garage
door) do?

Are people saying that a hood pad can not withstand oil fumes and
heat? Aren't those about the only two thing you can COUNT ON it being
exposed to?
I'd be really interested who you bought it from and/or who made it.

Don't remember for sure where I got it. Prolly The Benzbin.
I am the only pack rat around here, and I didn't do it.
My oil filler plug leaked a lot, so there were plenty fumes even the
pad
seemed dry. I just crumbled up.

Hans,
Do you have pack rats? they will chew the thing up and carry it
away to
make a nest, often in the engine compartment. My original pad
lasted more than
10 years, and it's replacement appears to be good for at least
the same. Oil
fumes will kill the pad so make sure your blowby is controlled.
Regards,
Jim Friesen
