MG TD TF 1500 - sound deadener

What products does one suggest to be used to replace the asbestos pads on the trans tunnel? did the driveshaft tunnel get the same treatment? Though not original what have you used on the floors, toe board and firewall? My Moss carpet kit came with jute backing for the trans cover and front floor partial pieces I'm guessing to be glued to the carpet

TIA

Bill; I just glued the Jute backing to the carpet and installed. I find that their is really little noise coming from the floor area. Floors do not seem to be an issue for sound deadening. More noise seems to come from the scuttle, and the tie bar behind the seat. I did not sound deaden these areas as I thought ...."How do you sound deaden an open car?"

I got a kit from QuietRide. Was made specifically for the car. They have a version for the TD and TF...

Contact Timothy Cox - he was really helpful.

I sound deadened the 72 MGB when I restored it so I could listen to the radio. It helped along with a Mohair top, but it's still to noisy to hear anything on a fairly expensive radio.
I'll insulate the TF fire wall for heat and the trans cover, but that's it. The Moss carpet kit has backing material similar to jute and that will go on the floor.
Was the original carpet glued to the trans cover and tunnel? PJ

I've used Eastwood "Thermocoustic" on the transmission and d/s covers. I used it on a Factory Five Cobra replica that I built and like it due to relatively low cost, effect heat and noise reduction and easy installation (adhesive-backed with durable aluminum up side).
