If so how did it fit and how was the quality. any opinions would be welcomed before I decide to buy one or not. I could use my old one with a little repair work. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 | I've installed two from Classic Parts of America, both fit well. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 1,552 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 1,552 | I have installed several and with much massaging & careful trimming, they have fit, satisfactorily. I recommend bending the creases, both directions, a few times, to allow the pad, to more easily take the shape of the firewall. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 | I recommend bending the creases, both directions, a few times, to allow the pad, to more easily take the shape of the firewall. x2 | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 36 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 36 | Sound like maybe I should stick with the one I have.
