Wanted: a small amount of the original black firewall insulator material for restoration of a January 1970 car. Does anyone have some small pieces of *original* black firewall insulator material that mounts against the firewall inside the passenger compartment? ---see the photo below I need it for a restoration I am doing, and I want to retain the original firewall insulator that came in my car, but I need some small pieces of the material to fill a couple of voids in my insulator. I need about 10 to 15 square inches of the insulator material, but if anyone has a bit more than that it would be welcome. A piece that’s 3 X 5 inches would work. I do not need the jute material that’s glued to the back side of the insulator. I just need the stiff black insulator material. I will pay for the material and the shipping, which I think could be easily done by sandwiching the piece(s) between cardboard and mailing in a manila envelope. Below is a photo of the textured material that I need to match the insulator material in my car. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know there has been discussion here of the firewall insulator before, and I don‘t want to redo that discussion, so…….. I want to retain my original insulator because 1) the aftermarket insulators are made of different materials than the original 2) the aftermarket insulators I have seen have a different pattern of holes and cutouts compared to the insulator in my car. Thanks! Pete
