Default A lot of hot and bothered cab 11/12 owners....

I am still debating what to use.

Some of the Eastwood house brand has been given bad reviews for just melting and dripping tar off vehicle from the southern States.

some of the specs for other mats are given at 14F to 140F....... well it get a lot colder than that around here and I am sure the inside of a cab 11 engine compartment at a 3 mph parade gets a lot hotter than 140F.

Asbestos is out....period. Some of the synthetic such as ceramic cloth used in the auto glass industry in the 1980 is now banned like asbestos. some material is too rigid others will absorb water and or petroleum based liquids and in the words of manufacturers will deteriorate very easily.

...and I do not particularly want something that says DYNAMAT printed all over the exposed surface......

I really beleive that Phil's solution for installation is the best..... but is time consuming. Fortunately the surfaces of the engine cover are all relatively flat and all the holes are predrilled.

Really curious with the expereince that David will share with us.
