quality hood insulation & value of a # 2 roundie & c

[SurferJim]

Dear 02 forum:

Finally got off a plane and surf is flat so decided to share some updates with my fellow 02's:

1. This guy is a gem of a supplier , bought his insulated sliver hood kit more than 1 yr a go, but over time tough to keep on my hood [ could be my 3m glue ] and also it tended to get dirty easily. I wrote to him and he replaced free of charge & added shipping with basic black . you can decide on the look you prefer I like the cleaner black . Old one still decent if in laguna area will throw in free with box of parts [ $ 40] I have

supplier is Anthony Werre

see before & after photos

2. Value of a # 2 roundie :I received a offer for Sunshine for $ 17 K told buyer sure without tool kit & dealer period literature & ads[ which were really fun but albeit expensive to find]. Deal fell through , lesson in all this ,the story and period literature helps the sale. Also a seller will take a loss on the $ have invested in a car but not a beating ...lol the usual classic car poem I am sure some of you know this already.

3. Have dealt recently with owner of coca mats based in south carolina for a rear seat set ,what a great fun guy and knows classic cars , if you have the $ worth the quality and made in the USA !!!

if it matters I did not receive a special deal or treatment from these 2 vendors , just giving feedback to their quality

I installed Anthony Werre's black foam hood insulation about a year and a half ago, using 3M Super 80 on two pieces and 3M Super 77 on one and they are still sticking without so much as a tiny spot seperating from the metal. And that in light of some bitter summer heat here in Southern Arizona (We were in Tucson yesterday afternoon with the official temp @ 109º - who knows what it was under the hood of the car when you stop and park in an asphalt parking lot. I put a small, cold, wet towel over the fuel pump when I parked to prevent vapor lock).

His product is excellent,IMHO.

+1 for Coco Mats

I guess it's time I ditched my original coco-mats; the driver side is looking somewhat tired. The other 3 are not too bad.

Can't imagine what it would cost to replace though.....RHD & a Touring.

Are you getting rid of the old insulation?

[SurferJim]

yes sir , adding it to free to my box of parts for pick up & $ 40 in South laguna beach wont ship not worth the postage , see photo

[alpinweib]

Hmm. Well I don't really need the other stuff. Would you sell just the insulation?

[SurferJim]

No sir , I received a free replacement so I won't charge for old set.

However, re-doing my garage so it kinda all-in -1 deal to clean out all misc. parts with that 1 box of stuff.

fwiw, i ended up buying the one from Rogers Tii, cheap and peel-on stick, and period correct for the sizes/shape. doesnt seem to want to fall down after 3 month.

FYI, to all...forgot here is the coca mat site

http://www.cocomats.com

Top Quality , heavy duty and made in the USA ...you truly get what you pay for with them.

On Anthony's hood insulation kits , can't remember the difference in $ between sliver and basic black , a guess is $ 35-45 higher for a sliver set ?

For a true answer email him and ask , very nice guy and answers quickly.
