MG Midget/Austin Healey Sprite Hood/Bonnet Liner

Description

NOTE: This design is for an aftermarket hood liner for the MG Midget/Austin Healey Sprite and is the only design we have if your liner is not the same as pictured it will not fit.
This buy it now item includes the liner for the main section as shown. The emblem is optional and is shipped with the liner. You can install it yourself it’s not all that hard and instructions are included.
Made of a light 1/4 inch closed cell vinyl nitrile foam rubber that is fire retardant and insulates against sound and heat. You can wash it and hose it off.
It’s extremely light, around 12 ounces, and has a smooth black finish. It adds a much cleaner look to your engine compartment, holds up to water, oil, petrol and resists mildew much better than the OEM hood pads it helps keep the exterior of the hood cool while not reflecting engine heat back down toward your intake. It's actually made for covering the firewall and bulkheads in aircraft and is FAA approved.
The options for decals are a 10 inch Red, White or Silver emblem decal.
Our decals are made of ultra gloss high performance 2 mil cast vinyl from Orafol and 3M. Heat and UV resistant this vinyl has an average lifespan of 7 years in outdoor conditions whether hot, cold, wet or dry. High performance vinyl has better dimensional stability to ensure no shrinking or movement after bonding.

Instructions
On most model cars we recommend installation with the hood off the car and on a flat surface protected from scratches.
To install this liner use 3M type #80 or # 90 spray adhesive or other high temp adhesive for vinyl nitrile foam rubber. Do NOT use general adhesive sprays or sprays designed for carpet. On my own car, 3M # 80 has held up for over 9 years.
The hood liner is resistant to water, oils, heat, and mildew but it is not indestructible. If you pull it too hard or gouge it with a tool it will tear. Handle it carefully.
It's cut to fit without trimming but if you stretch it don't worry, you can trim it off at the bottom.
With the hood on a smooth flat surface and protected from scratches dry fit it to get a feel for the material and see how it lines up.
Mask off areas to protect from over spray.
Follow the instructions for the adhesive you're using.
Spray the hood with adhesive.
Cover the area you just sprayed with wax paper. The kind you get at a grocery store. The wax paper should be bigger than the hood liner so you can grab the ends.
Spray the hood liner with adhesive.
Set the liner into place on top of the wax paper.
Line it up and tuck in the sides and corners.
When it’s lined up pull out the wax paper.
Press the liner into place.
