Dear Bugger, or is it Mr. Me,
We have a canopy on our Cruiser, see Members Rigs. I have installed insulation from Insulation Industries at
Newcastle, 02 4961 4215. The foam is flame resistant, has a vinyl type covering on the exposed side, sticks to the panel with specially supplied contact adhesive, is both heat and noise suppressing, cost about $50-60 square metre. If you are an Exploroz member you can send me a personal message.

Dear Bugger,
The insulation we bought was 1350mm wide and 25mm thick but came in a roll and Insulation Industries just cut the length we needed. We needed to buy special contact adhesive though.
Our canopy has full length side doors, the rear has a fixed window, the side panels have double rubber seals, so there is not even a hint of dust in the back. We intend to ship the Cruiser in a container to Europe and travel back through Russia.
If you decide to become an Exporoz member drop me a personal message and we can talk some more. When you are around
Newcastle let me know.
Cheers. Chris
