Looks like I'll be dropping into Clarke Rubber tomorrow o see what they've got for me.

Our local C/R is a pretty crap store so it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't carry it. Guess I can only try.

69 DIRTY RAT:
Do you know what to look for? Its about 1m wide, silver one side foam rubber on the other. It comes in various thickness's. I think I had 1cm thick?

WARFARIN:
Foam is a good noise barrier. You need a ceramic type wool [like a ceiling pink bat but much thinner] to keep out the heat. These also have a foil backing. I got some from Zip or Ecklers as an order filler. I'm sure you could source this locally. I got a foam/foil sheet once from Whitworths Ship/Boat Supplies [for a boat] might be worth a look? They might have something?
Cheers

AAJC:
Just finished my interior with the 10 mm foam from Clark Rubber. $30.00 per metre.
Havnt experienced the effects yet, but it was easy to work & moulded to the floor & firewall easily.

Question to DIRTY RAT and AAJC -

With the thick foam - how did you fit it around the Compartment in the rear deck?

I checked out the Clarke Rubber stuff today - it was $33m - I  found another place today that sells the old school mat style underlay.

He said he sells it to all the local upholsterers (and he named a couple I know are good) This stuff is 6 foot wide on a roll and $12 something a meter. So I could do a whole car for $35

It's  as thick as the Clarke Rubber stuff so I'm not sure how I'll go about the rear deck... Need some input on this.
