Finaly, I have my rolls of coloured vinyl to cover the dashboard and cockpit areas...

Im struggling to find a decent foam/padding material to sit between the car and the vinyl to give it some padding...

Not tried it myself, but looks like it would work well to me.

I used some 3mm foam that was designed as underlay for laminate flooring. Don't go any thicker or it will look rather bulky imo.

If you have a fabric shop near you, they usually have various thickness foam in sheets or rolls. I got some 3mm thick fairly dense foam from a local shop for my dash and tunnel top.

How dense do you want it? I have an upholstery business and have some offcuts if you just want a slight padded effect. 1/4" thick.

There is always sleeping mats from those outdoor stores- very cheap.

2nd vote for camping sleeping mats - just the job

Another vote for Karrimats/ closed cell foam -use it as a backin g to level out in between reinforcing ribs so you can carpert over a whole run rather than having ribs showing, also good for deadening noise and vibration, was a bit worried about a fire but if the floor is wood and the tub is glass fibre a bit of karrimat isn't going to make a shed load of difference
