Hardtop insulation replacement?

[tokarev]

I need to replace the insulation in the duce hardtop I'm currently using - Does anyone have a source for a similar material?

Actually I used 3 layers of the Aluminum Bubble Wrap Insulation sold by Home Depot. The 2 foot wide rolls work out perfect. You can always paint over the insulation if you don't like the aluminum look. I used the Scotch 77 spray glue to tack it in place.

Some people use the sleeping bag under-mats to replace the old foam. It's already green too.

I'm replacing mine with sleeping mats. I secured 4 like new sleeping mats off ebay for $29 shipped.

I didnt think of the sleeping mat material - my dad might even have some laying around from an old surplus buy. The db engineering has some neat stuff too.

Just spoke with my dad - BINGO he has the mats !! - we will give that a try with pics to follow.

Question - suggestion for glue brand?

I'm going to use speeding mats also.

If the sleeping mats are stiff enough (I used 1 layer of the Mylar bubble wrap, and then ~1" thick foam exercise matting), the original metal straps and center board holds the insulation in place fine without any glue. I did need slightly longer screws, though.

If you can't get sleeping bag mats you can buy polyethylene foam online. It comes in different densities and thicknesses. Here is a link to their website. http://www.foambymail.com/PE2-_1/polyethylene-foam-sheets-2-2lb.html

I think my order included free shipping. Great stuff.

I ordered some for a different project. I got 1 sheet 1/2" and one sheet 3/4" in black medium density.

Wallyworld has them if you don't like the color. I used sleeping mats, purchased from eBay. Worked well, think I needed two mats and spray adhesive, from McMaster-Carr.

McMaster carr has 1" thick foam that's adhesive on the back side that I used for a tractor headliner. It was an exact match to what was in there.

I did use the sleeping bag mat on my Deuce restore, turned out great.
