Andreas and James, many thanks, exactly what i was looking for!!!

Anyone have any recommendations on suppliers of replacement insulation, I see Stoddard do a kit, but not sure how close it is?

Autos International made one for me, make sure you let them know if its for a coupe or Cabriolet.
There is different spacing between the hinges that hold the deck lid.
