I'm doing up the tooling to do these in quantity. It will be done end of this next week. I did a test fit part and it looks pretty good, I'll be fitting in my car tomorrow.
Construction is from a closed cell fire retardant rubber that has some sound proof rating. It will not absorb water or oil. An excellent replacement for the OEM wool pad that promotes rust by holding the water against the firewall. More pictures tomorrow. This picture shows the cut pad next to the OEM. The ones in production will have the same holes as the OEM for grounds. Attached thumbnail(s) |

QUOTE The ones in production will have the same holes as the OEM for grounds. What does this mean? Ground connections, where are those? Will these have the holes for the plastic fasteners? BTW, $75 vs $200 elsewhere. This is a really good deal. |

It's actually where the seat belt harware comes through. I'm basically copying the OEM one you see in the picture and will be playing around with this more in the next day or so. The material is not very heavy as it's actually made for aircraft firewall application. I had thought velcro tabs would be a good way to do this. It could be glued, but will be difficult to work with. I'll post pictures shortly. -Mark |
