P500 For Sale: Rubber Noise/Heat Shield

[Smitty335]

Did you use silicone on the shift lever or something else?

I will never tell! NO Homo!

 

[snakeriver]

I used silicone at first but it did not hold that well, so I cleaned it off and used 3M trim cement.

Please keep in mind that I have not done any cleanup on this so you will see some glue residue. Also on the bottom hole I did not get it quite square but it works just fine. (i may have test drove it to soon) Sorry about the sideways pix, but I took them at 5:00 AM this morning in a dark shop.

Put me down for all of the 520 Triggershields when they come out.

I thought about that. The chassis seems to have remained the same so everything should fit the new model.

Sign me up for one! The buggy needs a Christmas gift! No hurry, just let me know what I need to do when the time comes.

I used silicone at first but it did not really work well, the next thing I tried was 3m trim cement and was not really happy with it. However Gorilla glue seems to be the bomb.

To be the Bomb? You must be old! I used that phrase couple years ago with a friend/customer and he cracks up, said he hadn't heard that description in years, now when we talk, it's always about the bomb! HA!

Damn, that's permanent now! I suggested silicone so it could be removed if necessary, though I don't really know why you'd need to remove it? I've sent out about a dozen of these now and haven't had any negative feedback. I hate making the one but I guess if guys want them I'll make them. Been selling them with the shields for an extra $20.

Yep I am spending my social security....

Hey Trigger, bought mine a while ago and don't remember, you say " Been selling them with the shields for an extra $20.", did I get a shield with mine? Not sure of what you are referring to. Love the mat, keeps out the dust, noise and heat. And don't remember paying you and extra $20! ???

 

[trigger]

Damn Robbie, I had to dig back quite a ways to find when you bought yours. No you didn't get the extra shields as they weren't available then. The extra ones cover the reverse lever and the 2wd/4wd lever areas. If this is something you're interested in just shoot me a PM.

As anyone who owns a P5 knows, the noise that comes from behind you is loud. Especially with a roof and windshield on, it just reverberates off of them. Another issue is with the heat that comes up between the seats and the seat belt latch area, just ride through a puddle with a hot engine and watch the steam roll in.
3 yrs ago when I got mine, the fix was to buy some foil backed carpet to put under the seat. It was like $38 for a 3' x 4' piece. Wasn't quite enough and didn't cover it entirely but it worked pretty good. The problem was that it was carpet in an off road machine, always wet, hard to clean and started to stink.

Had an idea to use commercial roof rubber instead, thin so it conforms but tough and doesn't break down. I've had it in for a couple of years now. It's works better than the carpet because it's heavier and I never take it out unless I need to get underneath. First time taking the seat out after a pressure wash, I found two little pockets where water had puddled, cut two little holes and it's always dry now.

Evidently this rubber is hard to find in small quantities and expensive. The cheapest I found online was $100 for a 10' x 10' sheet. Then you have to cut it which is a total PITA! I've cut 4 of them now, using each previous one as a gauge and it still sucks trying to get it perfect. Too many contours for it to lay perfectly flat but it's sealed up good.
I think I have a good enough pattern now and enough rubber to make a batch of these for sale if anyone is interested? It would be $70 shipped.
Here's what you'd be getting, less some of the cuts for snorkel and wiring...

Trigger, is this still available, I would be interested, but it would have to be shipped to Canada with the current border closure.
Thanks.
