Asbestos Replacment products

[Michael Hughes]

Hi all, I am looking for a replacement product to use on the engine bay panels on the cab 12 instead of the asbestos any suggestions.

I used the aluminium wrap that is used for insulating water tanks and other heating units. It is aluminum on both sides with a fiberglass between. I use it on my Cab13 dog house and it works very well. You can cut it with scissors and tape it with aluminum heating duct tape. Works great. and sound proofs as well.

cheers

Something like This stuff?

Hi Tony,

I believe that is one sided with the carpet/cloth fibers....that would do however I found that the both sided aluminium was less messy and provided an additional layer of insulation. check out the hardware store....it is less expensive as well.

Gents,

I had really good luck with DynaMat Extreme. This heavy foil is backed with a rubbery substance that you peel-and-stick to the surface. It really deadened the sound and reduced heat coming from the engine in my 13 cab 15 cwt truck.

It is only 1/8" thick so it can be placed very close to all components. It is thin enough to be formed over bulges and bumps in the sheet metal. The sticky stuff is sticky - so only put it where you want it to be.

I got mine from a hotrod guy near Essex, Ontario.

The Duramat Extrmee can withstand heat up to 300 degree F.....

My concern is that with the tight fitting doghouse of the cab 11..... I have less than one inch of clearance between the engine cover side and the intake/exhaust manifold of the 261 engine on the passenger side..... wondering if it can withstand that kind of heat on a long run.....

I have been thinking of salvaging some asbestos cloth from old army tents.... that asbestos is usually found around the wood stove chimney outlet..... maybe salvage just enough to do a 6" by 8" patch over the Duramat X just in the one hot spot of the manifold.....

Wondering what Phil Waterman used on his cab 12........??

Would love to hear what others have used to replace the ill fated asbestos..?

What do you guys use in Australia..?

Been looking for something similar myself - removed 1/4 thick sheets from the shell section of my HUP and would like to replace them.
