Willy Eckerslyke gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
That was exactly my reaction...
This is the kinda thing I was thinking of...
Agriemach.

After a brief "Gesundheit" moment, Google came to your rescue...
Hard to say. 3/16" thick isn't much. And despite being "extremely lightweight" they still charge a tenner for postage.

Well, quite. It's fleaBay. Always work on the total price.
Perhaps. Unless you can find someone splitting it into smaller lumps then it may just be easier to get a complete bonnet blanket from a breakers. It'll cost more but it'll be less faff.

I could get the standard thing for £50-odd.
I think I'd rather pay £40 for decent spaceblanket than £50 for 20yo compressed-fluff-with-little-bit-of-tin-foil.
Fair enough. If you end up with any offcuts, give me a shout. I've got a tractor that likes to cook the paint above it's turbo...
You've never run Minis then! That bit is an essential - not for road noise, but for induction roar. Along with fitting a proper dashboard inside.
Well, the OP didn't state what car it was. In anything modern, getting to the firewall is a pain in the neck...
My Cooper S rally car ran a Weber DCOE carb. I had to move the instrument cluster and cut away the firewall in order to allow it to fit. I also used straight cut transfer gears, and a straight cut gear box.
Although it would (just!) pass the scrutineering static noise test, when I borrowed a sound meter to test inside the car when driving, it was way above the limits!
