What about bus engine compartment sound deading sheets (masonite?)? They mount to the roof right above the engine. Don't think anyone is making them, you can corner the market.

Early bays used solid sheets, later bays had many perforations.

Hmmm...good point! I'll keep an eye out for a connection for some heat and oil resistant sheet materials.

I'll look a few friends engine compartments for what they have for ideas too.

Thanks, JM.

A friend of mine is having a CNC lazer company to make these engine bay sound deadner panels and he hopes to have them at the OCTO Bus show on Sat. before the VW Classic.

Bill & Steve's VW Shop (562) 923-3251 already has some of them....but the guy that made them hand drilled all the holes himself.....can you say time extensive!

Early bays don't have the holes. I actually wound up using my originals. Unwarped them in the rain, sealed the cracks and rips and painted with oilbased Rustoleum. Look like new!

Hey where are your front door seals made? Are they still on sale?

My 1971 has the holes.

68-69 two year only parts? Here we go again!

My '70 has the tar-board looking stuff with no holes like yours. So make that three-year-only!

what would you use to hold them up? mine is gone

There are metal tabs that bend over around the perimeters of the boards. I also used Liquid Nails TM underneath.
I'll show you next time I sees ya.

cool

Sorry, I missed seeing there was any posts on this thread. The door seals are Braisilian made door seals that are $30 for a pair.

And confirming, my 1970 does not have the holes either.








History of Holes by Peters improbably history with apologies to Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman.

Holes appeared in 1971. Previous to that, there were no holes. Anywhere. Ever. The hole was invented in January 1971 accidentally by Dr. Robert Hole while deep frying a powdered dough. Dr. Hole was a former police officer who offered them to friends who remained in the force. The multipurpose of the hole was immediate recognized and used for a wide range of products including masonite engine sound deadeners for late bays. There are also other uses for the hole. (The author respectfully requests that all comments outside the bounds of common decency be posted as either a clever double-entendre, or not at all.)



P.S. I have a creative excercise to work on today, thanks for an opportunity to warm up.

The '68 - '71 Weekender model Bus engine compartment firewall kit does not have holes in them as they are smaller panels that fit up into the areas between the steel bar supports. I need to get my hands on a set asap.

But here's the non Weekender model (spare tire in the DS rear upper storage tub area) '68 - '71 Bus firewall kit (2x piece) $65 plus shipping:


And here's the '73 - '79 Bus firewall kit (3x piece) $65 plus shipping:



Both come with all the hardware like the 3/16" oversize head alum pop rivets and you use the stock bend over tabs too.

The '73 - '79 kit includes black oxide sheet metal screws for the engine check lid...which is included in the kit too.

I do have a '72 year only OEM firewall kit (2x piece) here and I hope to get to those masters in the coming weeks.....
