What does everybody use to replace that horse hair looking brown stuff under the seats on 240s?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I bought the seat foam from Banzai Motorworks, and I didn't use anything between the foam and springs. I didn't see a need to use anything.

Here is what I did. I had to use anti-slip rubber as the floor mat would slip

Thank you Steve but I'm talking about the sound deadening pad. My 280's are perfect but this new 240's crumbled to pieces when I touched them so I ended up scraping then vacuuming the mess out. Found a complete mouse skeleton under there when I took the seats out. Turned the A/C on and half of a snakes skin came out of the vents in pieces. I bought an ecosystem that'll do a 100 MPH.

Don't you love livin' in the South!

I've seen that stuff on amazon.com, maybe that's the way I go. Thanks and do you remember the thread title of that car you did? It's been a couple of years and I'd like to see those pictures.

Ha! found it already, http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/body-paint-s30/44008-insulating-cabin.html. I put my pointer on a picture held down the "S" key and right clicked. Love that Google Chrome.

Oddly, that picture shows up on a Ukraine web site also. Is there more to Blue than we know? The page translates to "How to Draw a Hut".

I did the same thing as Blue throughout the car. And had the same carpet slip problem, also solved with some adhesive-backed non-skid strips in the footwells. DO NOT use bubble insulation for this - it will crush and also breakdown. This is foil-backed 1/4" closed-cell polyethylene insulation, installed with 3M spray adhesive.

Comrades, the election today was good....no?

Chocolates for everyone!

I used "megamat". Its a layer of butyl rubber attached to a layer of semi-thick aluminium. Butyl is a synthetic rubber that has excellent insulation and sound deadening properties as well as being a good adhesive and completely odor free. Since the material itself is an adhesive it has almost no chance of slipping or falling off once installed. I think as long as you stay away from tar/roofing shingle type material you will be fine. Murder mat is basically the same thing, costs more and seems easier to find.

I used Dynamat everywhere and added half-inch Dynapad on the floors and quarter-inch Dynaliner on the trans tunnel. These two additional steps made a huge difference in noise and heat reduction.

I like the idea of putting in some floor insulation, but I'm not sure I like the idea of butyl... If I ever have to take that stuff out for any reason, isn't it going to be an enormous PITA?
