Thats very inexpensive compared to the $199.00 I paid for a box of Dyn.
Extreme to cover my car. I may put the remaining sheets on the inside of
the bell housing cover as you suggested. I just hope the tarry , sticky
side will stand up to the heat generated in there.
I will probably be long gone before that becomes a problem.
