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.

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!

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

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.

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.
