ok here we go !! Has anyone recently re done the interior of their TVR or any other vehicle on that matter ?
Read on , after stripping the griff and using this state of the art foil backed insulation that is fire retardent by the way ?
Anyway finessed all my templates but the last one the one that goes up against the footwell near the hottest part opposition the manifold . My car s old insulation was very chared and the fact the car never caught fire astounds me !! So I thought I would set fire to the old insulation ;-)? Guess what yes you can't set it on fire it will flame up and will extinguish ( TVR got that right bless em ) anyway this is the best bit , as the new insulation was going back in this area I decided in my wisdom to set a small piece on fire !!!'
YES the BAst@£d stuff went up petrol and ended up in a charcoal ...

So please please check your insulation ?
I am now at war with the company who sold me the stuff !!
What a waste of a day

Thanks for the heads up.
Annoying that you finished the job and disturbing that it burns so easy.

So let's get this right.

You deliberately set fire to your new fire retardant insulation to see if would work and it didn't,and now your car is a burnt out wreck?

Or have I misunderstood you?

You have misunderstood :-)? I set fire to an off cut before I stuck the stuff in to make sure it is ok ,
And it's not ok !!
So I won't be fitting it :-(

When you find some that can be trusted please post up the name and source. My Cerbera is having a body of resto at the moment and I want to change the heatshield material but not with stuff that burns better than the GRP under it.
