soundproofing
Ben:
I've noticed this - I wondered about getting some really cheap rubber matting and attaching it somehow to the underside of the seat box /rear arches - ally strip along each edge bolted on should do the job. The seats should hide the bolt heads:-)
This would stop the noise more effectively, as it's preventing the stone hitting the underside "hard surface" of the vehicle. Perhaps I should patent the idea :shock:
I'd glue it, but I think it wouldbe too messy, and a PITA to remove!
At the moment though, I've only got AT's (well, depending on what state they're in when it comes back from the Police compound it's been in since it was stolen) and so I'm not so worried, as I only get the odd stone (usually off my parents drive...)
Cheers
Ben
Snooky:
Problem with the rubber on the outside is, attatching so it stays there, and will have to be in sections as there are the strenghtening spars there.
Will need to make sure it fits very snug so as not to hold moisture.
Think it will need to be something on the inside and chequer plate will probably deaden the noise so will see how much that costs in sheets

CP wheel arches dont help lol!!!

Noisekiller do kits for back of LR.
I have just picked up my kit for back of 110 to cut down on wet road noise, and rear axle transmission noise.
Gonna fit it tomorrow.
Wright off road for front, noisekiller for back in my opinion.
You get what you pay for, so if you choose to go the route of carpet for free like i first did, you will find it makes no difference. I will have the noisekiller kit then carpet over the top. Hopefully this will make the difference i require.

go to machine mart - they do metre wide lengths of ribbed rubber matting for about £12 a metre off the roll- they have different thicknesses too, up to 6mm I think, but thats obviously more expensive.
