asbestos replacement
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.

Aluminium stuff for dog house
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. cheers Mike

DynaMat Extreme
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. Stewart

Thanks for the lead Steward.....
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..? Boob

I haven't used anything yet as just puting a doghouse in place made a big difference too what I was used to
 .I checked Ebay and a website link in an Ebay listing and DYNAMAT EXTREME is available in Melbourne so after the weaner sale in April I'll buy some  . Stewart thanks for the brand name.

There is always the fire blankets like the welders use. Some of them are a pretty good look-a-like to the asbestos weave.
For those in the vicinity of Roses warehouse and surplus in Saskatoon, they still had packages of surplus asbestos cloth for around $20. I have one package of it hiding in the garage somewhere waiting for a project.

What else do we use in Australia?
Other than Roberts info is there any further suggestions as to what we use and can get locally in Australia?
C'mon fellahs - ease up on the Christmas cheer and get foruming  Or not......  GT
