Whats the stuff that sits above the engine, lining the engine bay in a Kombi. Is it easy to replace?
Whats the easiest way of doing this?
Can you buy it or do you take the old stuff out and make a pattern with it cutting new ones?

What no-one knows??
Come on guys- its got large holes in it and it keeps the insulation from falling on the engine

I would imagine not many PPL have done it, even in a bad Kombi this stuff is usually still OK. I had a look at mine and it looks like masonite, I would imagine all it dose is hold up the sound deadning insulation up there.
I spose you would have to try and get some from a wrecker. The market would not be there for a company to manufacture replacement set's

mine was demolished when the engine was converted, so i am still deciding what to do. will probably use the soundproof paint i am putting everywhere, then put somehting ontop.
