All right, the emagnetic mat approach was not very successful. The magnetic foce was far away of the spec and of my expectations- so just sent back teh stuff. Will now go for a adhesive daming mat approach for (two mats - structural morne nosie and air borne noise). The rubber block pretension idea may be worth a thought and investigation....

Hello Gentlemen, Thanks for the tons of feedback. I have ordered a 1,5 mm magnetic mat, which should hold 100g/mm2 according to the spec (you please do the tech conversion to your fancy system yourself ) Its the weight of a bar of chocolate per size of your Thumbnail, which should be sufficient for any standard noise damping mat weight. Will further proceed and keep you posted.. Cheers Oliver

Hello Gentlemen, All problems fixed, all improvements implemented ... so whats next ? I love the TR bonnet, however think is is not very well developed considering noise and vibration aspects. I therefore think about applying some noise damping mats. I am just reluctant to glue them in, hence think about a magnetic solution. I am wondering if such solutions are available on the market. As an alternative, I have discovered magnetic foil which could be attached to a standard noise damping mat. The assembly could then be attached under the bonnet and would be nicely removable any
