 When I replaced my rather ancient gearbox tunnel the was some rockwool
 (wall insultation) wrapped in polythene stapled to the old cover, when it
 was removed the engine sound did increase so I replaced it. Has anyone else
 come across this, i.e. is it a standard item.

My 72 GT6 had the same on its original tunnel cover.  It looked like a home 
remedy and I've always assumed that a PO had put it in there to reduce 
heat/noise from the engine room.
