deadening than heat and knew a bit more 'sound' on / in a Spider might
be minor - by comparison. Or...it could be there is better cooling under
a Spider hood than on the tin tops."

I've never seen a 105/115 GTV with any padding under the hood.  My 1973
didn't, and I'm sure that it wasn't removed at sometime in its life by a
DPO...
