Insulation question SKU - 51481810724

[LEO]

Guys I am starting the assembly of my project, I see that the firewall/insulation is in 3 parts the upper part is without adhesive, any recomendation for that? any glue or adhesive for that one??

Appreciate your feedback

the upper part just has the clips that hang over the top. no glue.
one quick thought, you might want to add the metal e28 tunnel insulation to keep the exhaust pipe heat to a minimum. 40 bucks

The upper piece at either end may need a dab of adhesive to prevent it from curling in. I also reinforced the backside along the thin parts because that piece is expensive junk.

Thanks for your response, do you remember what kind of DAB of adhesive did you use?

Sorry, don't remember exactly, but a little RTV would hold it but not permanently

here is a pic from Coupeking's website - it goes under the firewall insulation. the insulation is taped on because its not permanently installed

I would also recommend to install the upper section after all the engine bay stuff are installed, to minimize damage.
Just a thought

did that, works good, tip from @eriknetherlands

we added a couple of welded studs in the underbody, and i made sure to leave a 10mm space of air between the plate and the underbody

also this

the engine bay is getting some attention as new insulation panels, and more come in
