Kees,
It is on the cabin side only. I cannot cover the whole trans tunnel due to the
console mountings. I do not plan to take the tunnel off, but if I did, I would
put aluminium foil backed thin foam insulation on the underside.
I will take some more measurements later in the week.
Ken

Where did you put the insulation, engine side or cabin side. I would put the
insulation preferably on both sides with the shiny part towards the engine and
the cabine. If only one layer is possible I would use it on the engine side.
Make sure you cover the whole area.
Measuring in the sun or preheated cabin is not a good idea.
Do your measurements on a clouded day at an ambient temperature of about 20:C
to get a good reading.
First reading before you even start the engine, subsequent readings at say 10
min intervals driving. Use an assistant.
