do you plan to remove the bulkhead in the 90 ? Is that modification possible and beneficial for a new 90 puma ?

Is ali backed bitumen roof flashing (not lead) not a good 90% alternative?


Thats what ive used all over mine and its worked very well, i used 2 layers in the back and its made a massive difference, maybe not as good as the proper stuff but its a lot cheaper. The best and cheapest place i found for it is screwfix.

not wanting to go off at a tangent too much but although the tie downs aren't sealed are they likely to let in nearly as much water as the surround that goes round / is the recess for the fuel filler.

noticed my mine got a soaking inside yesterday as a result.

.....by the way looking great and I'm wondering where I stand with asking LR to compensate me and doing a 'swap' for a Xtech.

Bought my Dynamat Extreme pack from company on ebay in oxfordshire. had two packs and a few rolls of ali tape to seal the edges. Dynamat isn't bitumen based so you don't get a horrible smell of tar on hot days !

Put Dynamat on sides and then some camping mat from 'Go outdoors', sprayed some green matting with black spray paint. Perfect ! I have re-used the original style window surround trims. These still have some movement in them and I doubled up the thickness of camping mat towards the rear. I have also sprayed the trims as well.

Looks like what I did in mine over the spring and summer.

In hindsight the MUD panels could do with a double thickness of foam in the side panel recesses, as once fitted there is a little give in them.


And was it worth it? is it whisper quiet inside now?


Whisper quiet?

No way, but it IS much improved and worth doing. 2016 D4 HSE

In what way would he be proud Confused , i haven't finished off the top and rear edges yet, plus it will have half round stainless rubbing strips and a "T" shaped alloy chest that follows the bulkhead contours. Original Member Pie n Pea Club.
