While I have all the engine controls out of the firewall, I need to replace the insulation on the inside of the firewall. The bottom bellow the heater duct is a nice whole piece but the top half is plastic covered fiberglass and is in terrible condition. I am assuming it is the original or close to it.

What materials and sources have others used for replacement?

Thanks,

Bruce

Airtex makes one. Looks ok but very thin....

This stuff is THE BEST!

I used the 3/4" inch non adhesive backed. It is amazing stuff. Very quiet.

We used a quilted fabric with fiberglass insulation sandwiched inside. It looks good and works well. It came in a roll from one of the supply houses but I can't remember which one. It was cut to fit then bound around the edges so it would not unravel.
