As a long time vw and internet ethusiast I remember that RAMVA - Rec.Autos.Makers.VW.AIRCOOLED had a task about Dynamat before.

Look what I found:

You might be interested to know that you can get the industrial version of dynamat from a company called McMaster-Carr in Chicago

(www.mcmastercarr.com). They call it Hi-temp mastic. It doesn't have the logo but it is the exact same thing. Instead of paying $50 for 12

square feet though, you'll only pay $12.79! The part number is 9709T18.

As you see RAMVA is also a good source.

------------------------------

Used 2 rolls of dynamat on my bug. Doors, quarter panels and firewall all the way under the rear seat. Maybe that's why the solid mounts

don't bother me.

Stuff works great, easy to use too. Adhesive side sticks very well. Very dense and heavy (like me)

though my finnished car still eak's out a high 12.

... you can use it in small strips. A friend that runs a car stereo shop showed me that. It doesn't take much to stop the metal from resonating. I

used one roll in my '63. DON'T put it in the doors. How many cars have you seen rusting from the inside out? That's because the factory

horshair that was glued inside the doors fell down and covered the drain holes. I carfully taped up my door and sprayed inside with

rubberized undercoating.

There are new types of Dyna-mat out now that are thinner and lighter. Check around at the car stereo stores.
