I have looked everywhere to find a replacement for these insulation pads for the footwells of my '96 D90, but I don't even know what term I should be searching. I found a similar post from a different forum with no resolution. They are definitely manufactured and not DIY, but I have no idea where to find them.

Ps the standard stuff is ****ing horrendous in a defender as when you get an interior leak the foam just acts as sponge and a rust aid. Stick some silent coat sheets directly on the metal too ;)

Ok, so the hardura is an aftermarket alternative to genuine LR parts? The mats I took out of the footwells definitely had the closed-cell foam you mention -- but I don't see that on the hardura. Is the standard replacement to throw down silent coat (or some noise insulation) and then stick the hardura over the top?

Is there an OEM part number for the foam mats with heavy rubber fronts?
 
I don’t know about getting a lr genuine replacement - would imagine it would cost if even available. The hardura above is foam backed. The original isn’t closed cell foam - bad idea.
Everyone has a different take. When I ripped mine out there was no way I was replacing with foam! I put silent coat sheets on the panels as was doing whole bulkhead at time. I then matted mine with rubber sheet membrane we had in stores. I know others have used 2-3mm rubber matting. Easy shapes to cut
 
I may have to re-think my entire solution.
Right now, the mats do the job to keep the noise down, but if I can't get replacements, I will need to find an alternative --preferably something that doesn't hold the water in.
It may be time to pull out the dash and sound dampen the whole bulkhead.
Thanks for your help!

If anyone happens to know the LR part number, please chime in.

your welcome and I can’t recommend doing that enough. It’s not a massive job, you can paint the bulkhead from inside then too. Don’t blame me if you find a hole though haha.
the Land Rover stuff is horrible. Lucari are well known and I’d doubt their set would be tat.
Mate silent coat the lot once you’ve painted then spray glue that hardura set to it. I’ll prob rip mine out one day and redo in that set as my seat box is naked.

Same in d1s. Once wet stays wet and when you pull it out it’s stinking

Do you have any pictures of Hardura stuff? And any reason you would go over that rather than rubber matting? Looking at the Exmoor trim molded rubber matting.
@snow.crash - I just took that sponge stuff out, it’s awful. I found the part number and contacted a couple places. Both said they don’t produce it anymore, probably for good reason.
