In this guide I will show you how to install sound insulation under the bonnet.
This mod will also help when the car is starting from cold, as it will retain the heat initially, but subsides when hot.
The main aspect of this is to reduce the engine noise from the out side. This wont be totally complete
unless all the sound insulation is installed on the bulkhead, valance, front panel and wheel arches/turrets.
When I find these I will update the guide accordingly.
It is very simple and requires no tools.
Tools Needed:

Step one; get the sound insulation from Ebay/scrap yard/ or other
|
|
Step two; go to ford and buy 11 large headed retaining clips around 10p each
|
|
Step three, open your bonnet and support it on its rod.
|
|
Step four, place the insulation under the bonnet making sure it is the right way around and lean it on the support bar while you get the clips.
|
|
Step five, support the insulation up to the bonnet with one hand and use the other to push the clips through the holes, thus securing the insulation in place, do this for all 11 holes.
Then close the bonnet, you may find that the bonnet is a little harder to close but don't worry.

The End
That's it people, very simple and easy to do.
Hope this guide is of some help and enjoy
