- You can use alot of different things, here's some we use at work
- depending on exactly what's happening....
-
- Fiberglass insulation as a backing (Apply with contact cement.)
-
- Rubber Grommets between the panel and chassis at the screw hole.
-
- Thin sheets of uplostry foam.
-
- Foam Insulation, in a can from your local hardware store. Just feed the
- hose behand the panel and give it a quick shot.
-
- If screws or bolts rattle loose, use thread-lok or teflon tape (on the
- threads) like that is used on natural gas pipes.
-
- This should at least spark some ideas of your own.....
