Default cab

Cannot find my answer in searches so here goes.
What are you guys using for insulation/absorbtion strips when reassembling the cab sections? And where do you buy them?
thank you.

Default Ryan

I would try Clarke Rubber Ryan. A lot of my Cab 13 has rubber stripping about an inch/inch1/2 wide as well as using webbing with a black tar as the adhesive.

The stripping is not thick, about as thick as the canvas webbing.

Default Rubber Roof Membrane

Hi

I used Rubber Roof Membrane material both for the under floor and between nose and cab. Check with a commercial roofing contractor the type that does large flat roofs. Take photo what you are working on and generally they will give you enough scrap roofing to do 5 trucks. If you want the sticky stuff it is what they use at edges it is about 6" wide and comes in rolls. Again they gave me the end of roll.

Cheers Phil

Default Under floor webbing

Hi Ryan et al,

Another good source of webbing as used under floorboards is Spotlight haberdashery stores in Australia. I bought identical webbing to the original webbing under my floorboards from them. Only comes in white but a packet of green dye also available at Spotlight solves that. I just sprayed them with Lanotec after installing on floorboards and they should last forever and prevent squeaking. Total cost $15 for webbing and dye.

Spotlight is also a good source of eyelets and snap fasteners which may come in handy for vehicle restorations.

Cheers,
