64-67 A-Body Firewall Pad Recommendation
Anyone have any experience with the RECENT crop of 64-67 A-body firewall pads? The catalogs always have glowing descriptions but a lot of times, well….not quite what they say.
I bought a pad from OPGI ages ago, and I mean ages, and it was a thick piece of very shiny vinyl. IIRC the originals were a rubber/tar paper like pad with more of a satin sheen and kind of tore easily as they aged. I know the repops are not going to match OEM but wondering if the current offerings are closer to the originals. |

This is the more expensive molded pad from our sponsor for my 68. It's not like original and has some appearance issues as mentioned in the catalog for all 64-72 models, but it went on easily and is much thicker than the non molded version that I have from OPGI

I got my insulation pad from Parts Place, and was very pleased.

+2 On the more expensive one from Ames. I just installed that one a few months ago. Pricey but nice.
