1 28th November 2016 APPLYING SOUND DEADENING MATERIAL I thought that I better get on with applying the sound proofing to the bodyshell before the carpet set arrives from Moss. The first thing to do was to make sure that the paintwork to the areas the sound deadening material was going to go was free from grease or Waxoyl. To do this I wiped the area with a cloth dampened with panel wipe which is a mild thinners. The backing paper is easy to pull off the back of the Pease Mat sound deadening material, leaving the sound deadening material ready to stick onto the floor pan. The Peace Mat I was using was easy to mark the cutting lines with a ball point pen, and easy to cut with a pair of scissors. Once I had stuck the Peace Mat in position I went over it with a roller to make sure that it was all well stuck on. On the floor pan, I just fitted the Pease Mat into the low areas; they say you only need 70% coverage with this sound deadening material. I have learnt that if a panel rings when you tap it lightly with a small hammer, it needs sound deadening material stuck to it.

2 Cutting the material into strips seemed the easiest method on applying the Peace Mat. The whole area is going to be covered with the closed cell foam sound roofing material after I have finished installing the sound deadening material. At first I tried using newspaper, but it proved too thin and floppy for making a pattern Areas like the rear bulkhead were a bit more difficult to cut out of the roll of Peace Mat. Here I am using an angle gauge to transfer the angle to a paper pattern before I attempt to cut the shape out of the sound deadening material. In the end I found some cardboard that was more suitable and made the pattern with this. V8 Register MG Car Club V8-restoration-Mike-Macartney-Rebuild-Report-97 2
3 The Peace Mat stuck onto the indents in the rear bulkhead panel. Using the cardboard template to mark the sound deadening material. Turning the cardboard pattern up the other way made the pattern for the other side of the rear bulkhead panel. The cockpit area nears completion. I was amazed how long it took me to complete this work. I must have spent about three days doing the job on the cockpit. V8 Register MG Car Club V8-restoration-Mike-Macartney-Rebuild-Report-97 3
4 This looks a tricky bit. I think I need a cardboard pattern? Tapping with a ball pien hammer and listening for any ringing. OK, let s now have a go at making a silver jigsaw puzzle in the boot area! I roughly cut out some cardboard to cover the area that I wanted to make the sound deadening pad for. V8 Register MG Car Club V8-restoration-Mike-Macartney-Rebuild-Report-97 4
5 Rubbing around the edge of the raised portion gave me a line to cut for my pattern. The bits of sound deadening material stuck in place. The blue cardboard pattern was cut out and transferred to the sound deadening material. Turning the cardboard pattern over gave the shape for the other side of the Peace Mat sound deadening. This is all that was left from the roll of the Peace Mat after I had sound deadened the cockpit front bulkhead and the boot area. V8 Register MG Car Club V8-restoration-Mike-Macartney-Rebuild-Report-97 5
6 The jigsaw is complete. I purchased the materials for the sound deadening and the sound proofing, which have yet to do, from Paul Neale at Car Insulation UK, Paul Neale was very helpful. I would also like to thank David Heaton of the V8 Register who persuaded me that it was a good idea to sound deaden and sound proof the MG. Apart from replacing sound deadening pads and car manufacturers sound proofing, on accident damaged vehicles, in the past, I have never attempted sound proofing a car before. I must admit I did find the job a bit boring and quite time consuming. I will wait now until, my new carpet set arrives from Moss, before I get on with the installing the sound proofing material. I am hoping that I can use the carpets as patterns for the closed cell material that I also bought from Car Insulation UK. The mounting bases interlock into each other, if you remove the plastic flashing from the moulding process that stops them linking together. The relays plug into the top of the mounting bases. I bought three for; main beam, dip beam and horns. Dugald reminded me, when he was up, that I need another one for the radiator fans. Don t you hate these clever clogs! RELAYS I bought these relay mounting bases from Vehicle Wiring Products. If you have any suggestions, comment, or tips I can pass on through these reports.
