Make sure its secure, it wouldn't be good to have the loose insulation falling on the engine. The later engine lids are plastic with foam bonded to the underside, not as heavy.

Looks in the same nick as mine :) I cut up a couple of metal coathangers to add more support where the insulation was starting to sag and it's been ok so far - will replace with some proper insulation when I get round to it... http://forum.club8090.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=142356
