As the other thread was on 'for sale' forum, I thought i'd better start this here.
So as some of you know, I wanted to line the inner walls of the Euro first aid box with felt, in order to minimize rattles during driving.
I ordered sticky-backed self-adhesive felt sheets from amazon. ($9.00 for 18 sheets of multiple colors)
They were a bit less wide than the width of the box, but I was able to fill in the gaps without much problem. it's not completely flawless, but this will probably be the last time I look at the inner walls of it, as they pretty much become invisible after installing, and during usage.
It was a bit of a messy awkward job, but looks good after finished; needs patience and sharp knives.
DISCLAIMER:
The felt is much smoother/denser and darker and more evenly colored than in pics; I used the flash on purpose to show detail; so it looks worse and "fluffier". the very last pic is perhaps truest to real life look.
The bottom of the box is NOT flat - it has raised lines/ridges (WHY?) and as you can see the felt followed the 'ridges' pretty ok.
I used brown felt on purpose to show the work and how i lined the inside.
--the inner bottom and parts of inner back wall, and the inner wall of the front lid (things can bang against that wall too) are brown;
--the inner side walls and inner top walls are black. (as are any small areas left uncovered by the brown felt)
I MIGHT double layer the bottom to give it a more even look with black, if needed, but I will test it with a single layer first.
Here are some before and after pics (see disclaimer above)
