Post subject:  Dash and Bulkhead insulation.

Not sure where to post this,so I will try here.
I need to buy some dash and bulkhead padding/insulation/whatever it is called.I have ripped all of mine out as it had gone hard and was coming off anyway.There dose'nt seem to be a lot of choice available so I was wondering if anyone has bought some and what the quality was like.
I have seen all the usual places selling it,Ecas,Franzose,Frome 2cv,but without actually seeing it,its hard to judge the quality.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I've just used some of this on my current pain in the arse:

Not the easiest stuff to work with but it looks good now it's in place.

I spent a while trying to replace my collapsed dash/bulkhead insulation with stuff like the original Citroen padding. The 2cv people in Halifax said that I could have some, but I'd have to cut it to shape myself, and go up to their place to fetch it.

Eventually I gave it up as a bad idea (why buy stuff that tends to sag and collapse?) so I bought some stuff called brown bread, which is pretty thin and does a good job of deadening the noise. It's easy to cut with scissors, it's simple to work with... and has an adhesive backing. I was able to cover the main part of the bulkhead with just a couple of pieces, and made a patchwork of the fiddly bits.

It looks fine (has a reflective finish, giving a kind of space-age ambience! ;) ) but when I get round to it I'll cover it with leatherette trim (the same as the stuff I've used on my door cards).

Hope this helps.
