Huw Club Member Feb 15, 2014 #1 Just a general question, did Z's ever have under bonnet sound proofing material fitted? Before I started restoring my 280ZX, the bonnet had felt stuck to the underside. Should it have, are there benefit for doing this? Anyone know for sure? Cheers Huw

mattbibbey Well-Known Forum User Feb 15, 2014 #2 I would be slightly worried if it wasn't a material designed to be in an engine bay..... FIRE! On modern cars, I think the main reason for all that insulation is heat. Also to protect the paint on the bonnet.

Huw Club Member Feb 15, 2014 #4 Ah that's what I thought. Thank Derrick. The felt that was on mine must have been one of the many 'improvement' made by a previous owner. Cheers Huw
