Bonnet Insulation

[ianto]

Hi
Could anyone recommend a heat-proof adhesive for fixing a new foam insulation pad (full-size) under the bonnet of a 190E?

On a previous thread 'hornbrod' suggested # M Contact Cement, but this drew a blank look from my local indie motor accessory shop!
Any tips on fitting would also be grateful.
Cheers

Hi there

I replaced the same stuff (which MB charged me £50 for) on my 500SL a few years ago. Went into an art shop and asked for 'spray-on contact adhasive'. It is made by 3M - probably a few types, but worked OK. Use loads of it, but keep some spare too!

Used these people in the past: http://noisekiller.co.uk/ They do good stuff, but bear in mind the panel MUST be clean.

I have used old fahioned Evostick in the past. Great sticking power, but it is contact adestive, so you only get one shot at getting it right. Position the insulation, and touch it at the bottom, and then work up. This way the glue holds the weight of the cloth and you can focus positioning, with no air bubbles.
