aircobra Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 something like this http://whiteheadperformance.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/1971-240Z-Restomod-Firewall-Insulation.jpg it looked like heavy rubber with foam backing thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red76z Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 This is a much better option. As you can put it every where instead of select parts like it was done originally . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterH Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Hi Aircobra The firewall insulation is in three pieces...even has the cut outs for the air conditioner hoses.... it's out of a 9th month 1973 car. I'll draw it full size on CAD and print off a template...I'll let you know when I've done it. Pete George and GongZ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircobra Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 total champ, what material is it? some people say - black painted cardboard, other rubber definitely has some sort of wadding/jute/heavy foam on the back are there some sort of clips at the bottom to secure the carpet?

PeterH Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 The clips as shown.... the backing material is good old fashioned "gorilla hair" , faced with a heavy rubber like material . The facing is 2mm thick and the backing about 10mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators gav240z Posted April 4, 2016 Administrators Share Posted April 4, 2016 For some reason I thought this mob had reproductions of 'original' jute material and the firewall piece. http://www.zeddsaver.com/ But.. remember when ordering from North America their cars are LHD so their firewall piece may vary...
