Dog house insulation....

[Phil Waterman]

I've used a combination of the methods mentioned but with a couple of differences. Used some of the panel material from boilers that was the replacement for asbestos but to attach it I taped it place and drilled through all the little holes from the staples then used tie wire of the size of the staples to loop through each staple pair of holes and twist on the engine side.

The big issue with both noise and heat is making the cover as fit as tight as possible and as air tight as possible. Foam gasket material is what I used. On my C60S which spends more of its time running at or near full throttle noise was a major problem made up a canvas engine cover that has sheet foam rubber underneath added a couple of snaps to hold it in place. This made a huge difference in both noise and heat in the cab.

Worked great until I tried to wash it, it shrank and now is not long enough on the rear of the doghouse.

Be sure to check the maximum temperature of what ever padding as the exhaust pipe scorch some of the material on the passengers side and I had to added a metal heat shield.
