I need to replace one of the under hood(bonnet) insulating pads on my Spur II. Does anyone know what material they are made of? I'll have to have it custom made.

Hi Gayle,Try Scotts Old Rubber in Melbourne they have sheets of similar stuff as the oiginal it has a sticky back but you will need the old material as a pattern.

You can still buy them from Crewe Spares (Bentley)if you prefer originality.

There are a few upholsterers in OZ who will make them for you using the old ones as a pattern. The essential requirement of the material is to be fireproof. If you are going to do one I suggest you do the lot and stock up on the various fixing bits before you start.

Hidden somewhere in my archives is a reference to a substitute for the liners - despite much searching, I cannot find it.

I think the substitute was welding mats but cannot be certain.
