I'm quite sure that a chrome bar will still cut through a softer modern car. Not to mention Kangaroo. :Chin:

yep they are the outer brackets and they attach to another set of brackets that should be attached to the bar corners themselves..its amazing how many cars dont have them..they stop the corners of the bar vibrating..you need em ive got em.just add them to the rest of the stuff i have to send you if you want with bolts..

Mook I glued felt underlay about 12mm thick with laminex or vinyl glue to wall and ceiling prior to installing any linings from memory I had to cut a groove in it for the ceiling bows for hood lining .the bows had less than 12mm clearance from roof

That sounds like a great way to do it, in your opinion do you think that it makes much of a difference to the outside noises getting in?

I just purchased enough Dynamat to do the roof and the front floor under the carpet. Spent a small fortune, but i figure do it once and do it right.

With the lining rod did you have a wide gap in the felt for the bow? Was this so that the bow fitted easily when clipped in, or did you do this for the roof lining to clear the felt?

**RodneyHZ253** · 21-08-2011, 03:26 PM

I groved the felt out so that the bow did not contact it and left clearance each side of the bow so when the lining was pulled tight the bow could move with reference to the lining I didn't end up using the thin wire and clip it to roof brace i couldn't get lining taught so I made up an extra bow out of mild steel rod to match the two rear bows I had.
