Re: [T2] Upright in a late bay. How about the flipside?

Hiya Jamie,

If you go with the cooling shroud from Oregon Performance be prepared to shell out 
some bucks.  More than $500.  

However, the product is first rate quality.  Jake wouldn't be associated with anything 
else.  And I happen to know Joe L. the owner of Oregon Performance.  A stand-up guy 
who knows his VWs.

Re: [T2] Bad P-mails - Just Ignore

2002-01-20 Thread Bookwus1

Greetings All,

At the risk of participating in a thread which is likely to get shut down for 
lack of obligatory bus content, I agree with Rick and Bob as to the reasons 
for and the reaction to postings which may contain some degree of "personal 
invective".
I would urge anyone who feels they have been slighted to simply ignore that 
posting altogether.  Chalk it up to the fact that the respondent had one too 
many beers when he posted.  Do know that the rest of us out here on The List 
will also see that message for exactly what it is.  You don't need to 
respond.  Further, any sort of response will only prolong the thread (which 
is what I'm doing now, isn't it?) and opens the possiblility of casting you 
in a negative light.

[T2] Insulation Ideas

2002-01-21 Thread Bookwus1

Greetings All,

The Duck is going in to get a paint job next month and I am in the process of 
removing most everything from the shell.  I pulled out the tarboards from the 
engine compartment and I got to wondering..surely there must 
be a better insulator than these *%^&$#@ tarboards.

Recently when I was down in San Francisco I met a fellow Busser.  He had 
removed the tarboard and placed some sort of foil faced solid insulation in 
its place.  The pieces were sealed on the edge and the whole effect was that 
of a professional job.  The metal tabs used to hold the tarboards were bent a 
little lower to hold this new insulation.  Pretty spiffy.  Clod that I am, I 
didn't ask him about that at the time.

Basically I'm looking for something rigid (I don't think I want to do the 
floppy NASA stuff like Matt Bulley did), non flammable, and resistant to 
chemicals which will insulate both for heat and sound.  I know others must 
have conquered this little problem in the past.  Suggestions for materials or 
resources?

TIA,  Mike
