Devil Fish Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 the manta stuff is called "I'm a big sponge and will rot your floor for you" give dynamat a try, really is good stuff (in my experience) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monzta Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I don´t think that you can even get that old asphalt stuff anymore there are however alot of other good products on the market that are much better and will not make your floor rot. Dynamat is one of them but the prices are steep. I don´t know what it is called in English but here in Denmark we have something called led-rubber wich works great and is often used as sound damping for subs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opelmantagsi Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I used the same type of product as flashband in our chevette, we did the whole car as its got an expensive sound system installed, worked out a fraction of the cost of Dynamat. the stuff I used came in roll form, I went with 250mm wide and it worked a treat, just used a heat gun to get it nice and plyable and it sticks like brown stuff to a blanket, easy to use and if you need more density just add a further layer to get even better deadening. I wont however be putting any deadening back in my Manta, when we get the body shell stripped back to bare metal I am going re seam seal and then spray the entire inside floor pan & bulkhead with stone guard, then do the underside of the car the same, and top coat the whole lot same colour as the body. I stripped down a Calibra recently and have taken the interior out of my sons E30 BMW to remove that barium loaded foam rubbish they fit in the factory. On both cars the foam sound deadening was acting like a sponge, promoting damp smells & rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantapaperman Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 thanks guys...the only reason i want something on the floor pans is to stop the carpet rubbing the paint of to bare metal then rusting.. the carpet is like a brilo pad on the back and since i've removed the sponge stuff its abit baggy and rubs!! ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) You'll need to keep them well apart somehow or you'll end up with far more exciting corrosion (galvanic, in fact) than you'd get with the plain steel. Just ask Land Rover owners. Edited July 25, 2011 by Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opelmantagsi Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 if I was going down that track I would put rubber washers between the fixings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
