Click on it to make it massive, but for reference the dimensions I used for the cut out on 110 to get puma seats in.


Click image to enlarge

Measurements are

85mm From Inside Edge
20mm From Seatbelt trim (Outside Edge)
185mm From crease at base

The width of the opening in 90mm

The very top bit is 125mm in from the inside edge and allows a space for the 'Tilt' handle. I think If I were doing this again I would just make this the same width as the rest of the cut out.

Also mine are tight extra 5mm in each direction wouldn't hurt

Thumbs Up thanks, but there all in and working as of this morning Mr. Green I ended up not cutting any hole out at all, as I used to be a panel beater i decided to just hit it flat with a big hammer Rolling with laughter if I ever decide to change it back I can just knock it back into shape Laughing

This weekend I've mostly been re-trimming, sound deadening and insulating the roof.

Mouldly, dirty headliner

Click image to enlarge

Cut re-trim fabric to size


Fold in half and spray on contact adhesive


Push and mould to contours


Insulate Light backing before re-fitting to save fuses



Fold over edges and glue and tape up


Looking good so far, two more to go


Silent Coat the roof (cheap Dynamat)



Managed to pick a Military "NATO TUM" 110 HazMat kit


The inside of the kit was then cut and used over the top of the sound deadening material



Start to refit the trim




Very happy Thumbs Up

Thumbs Up looks great! I always look forward to seeing updates from you as most of the stuff you do seems to be what I'm planning for mine.

Quick 30mins addition. Thanks to Myers for the extra light I now have a light in the middle of the 110 (why LR have never put one there is a mystery)

No light


Masked up and carefully cut a hole, fished the wires that I'd left there for this job


Installed to a Factory finish

Tonight's little job was to add some soundproofing to the bonnet.

Quickly measured the sound in the cab at idle. 63.3db was about the average



Then got to work on the kitchen table Whistle (Mrs Tiger was out)


First step was Silent Coat (cheap Dynamat) to kill the vibrations and add a bit of mass


Then Silent Coat Hoodliner


Tape it all up nice and neat


Put it back on the car and measure in exactly the same way


Dropped 3.5db at idle, I'll know better tomorrow when I drive it if it feels quieter

You could also stick 1cm thick felt to the underside of your bonnet,I used cable tie's as well for a bit more security.

Next major project is the transmission tunnel as I reckon that's where most of the noise comes from.

Well, drove it today and it's made a difference, not massive but 1 step closer to being nicer on long runs.

I think the transmission tunnel will make the biggest difference.

I put sound deadening and closed cell foam across the whole floor bulkhead and transmission tunnel and then put the original trims and mats etc back (these were a bit tight) and it made quite a big difference. You've also given me another job Big Cry as the extra light in the roof lining seems like a very good idea Thumbs Up
