I have stopped believing you when you post that something is beyond your gift....
Nice work on the camera installation, even used a grommet!!
Looking good Mackers

Well it's killing me (the price). I never reckoned to get this far and use a 100 of the bigger size than A4. £190 so far and I'm gonna order one last pack of 50 sheet. Done other side of bulkhead. Cheapest I could find https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silent-C...Proofing-Damping-Mat-50-x-Sheets/111389773574

That's a lot of dough on sound deadening sheets

I wonder if the Lizzard skin would have been cheaper for a similar effect? @bankz5152 seems to have found it good for his Deefer.

I think its better as you get 100% coverage, it works out roughly the same price but better coverage.

Is it a DIY coating?

Just putting on for future reference. Chosen my colour scheme for different parts of dash and trim. Found these http://www.kolorbond.co.uk/vinylkote-paint-leather-vinyl

Stereo done. Eee by gum! Shocked twice, but no pain :0)

 

[My Old Landy]

Superb!! How does it sound whilst driving?

 

[marjon]

All credit to you getting it sorted. Can’t take away from your effort and enthusiasm

Buttttttt, why are you trying to turn your defender into a disco

I suppose yet again we have to be glad we all have different tastes, in music too(if that’s what that was).

You sure you not going to bang your knees on those front speakers getting in/out.

Anyway keep it up, you not doing anything wrong when you love your Landy.

@Mackers
Have you looked at getting the sound deadening surround around the fuse box?

You are coming on leaps & bounds
With your work.

Keep raving...

Good actually. Barely hear the tratter. Definitely need a subwoofer to divert bass from the mid/high speakers. They can't cope with the bass

I won't be playing that all the time. I just thought that since I was fitting a radio and stereo I might as well just do it as I did. I love every type of genre of music actually. I'll be playing jazz, classical, folk ... It's actually to kill the noise one of the collies makes. He's got neurological deficits and can't be trained to shut the f^%k up when travelling. He barks very loud and constantly

Started the front silent coat. Found leak areas round gear box tunnel and rubber oval grommet and a screw hole without a plug on the rubber handbrake cover. There'll be more openings I'm sure.

 

[Mackers]

In the end, though I'm not a boy racer who likes to have his window down (elbow out) getting goose-pimples as he imagines everyone stationary at the lights is thinking he's amazingly cool (boom boom), I couldn't cope with just mid top sound coming out of my speakers, so I've bought this. It'll sit nicely on the bulkhead behind my front seats:

Note to all: Def seat covers aren't tweed wool, even if they look and feel like it. Took em all off to machine dye em. Synthetic so no take up of dye

 

[Mackers]

OMG what a s$it afternoon I've had. If anyone knows what these are, I threaded most of em scraping butyl silent coat bits out.

 

[marjon]

Think we need a few more clues
Where did they come from (which area) size?

And I don’t quite understand your post

Seat box. They're the nuts underneath that are rivetted so they don't spin when you bolt the seat rails down :0(

So, is that a Rivnut, set into a plate, which is then pop riveted into place ?

If so ...... Rivnuts are available on the bay and the zone for not much money - and you wouldn't need the proper tool cos you've got access to both sides

 

[marjon]

Drill/punch out the remains and use a small bolt/ button head of some sort with Nylock nut not super tight, so the seat bolts line up.

Good luck
