Firewall insulation that actually fits
 

Looking for input on a pad that actually fits and looks correct.
Any input is appreciated thanks

Contact Wes at Classic Heartbeat. He was getting a correct US made repro from a family run operation. The more widely available repro pieces look awful imo.

I have a bunch of it laying around because it didn't fit. I used the "stick on" cab sound insulation. Likely not as effective for heat as the factory stuff. But at least I could cut it and it fit.

I ordered the repops pad from jegs..
Hopefully it's as good as their reputation

Re: Firewall insulation that actually fits
 

Can you find a part number? I wasn't able to locate any firewall pads for a 67-72 chevy truck on Jegs site.

Re: Firewall insulation that actually fits
 

Order from Wes if possible..I think he sells the best USA made pad...
The Jegs/repops numbers are CT1190 for ds , CT121 for 71&72 center and CT120 for 67-70

Got the repops insulation installed and between better quality and more experience it fits great...thanks for the heads up.

Re: Firewall insulation that actually fits
 

What was the total cost? How many pieces is it? AC or without AC?

Re: Firewall insulation that actually fits
 

How close is the quality of the repops to that of the original pads? Could you show any comparison or installed pics? Thanks.

Re: Firewall insulation that actually fits
 

Truck has ac and was 2 pieces... approximately $90 with shipping

Re: Firewall insulation that actually fits
 

Does anyone make them for factory air condition? I can find the passenger side without ac but no luck for the ac truck

Re: Firewall insulation that actually fits
 

^^^I don't believe there is a mat for passenger AC trucks, thats why they can't be found. I seem to remember coming to that conclusion a few months ago when I looked.

Re: Firewall insulation that actually fits
 

Correct...no pad for passenger side

Re: Firewall insulation that actually fits
 

I'm late to this party. Repops pad made in the USA.

Re: Firewall insulation that actually fits
 

Thanks Larry, looks like nice stuff. Would you say the quality & fit is on par with the OEM stuff?

Re: Firewall insulation that actually fits
 

I was very happy. I used original retainers.

Re: Firewall insulation that actually fits
 

Nice, do you remember where you ordered them from?

Re: Firewall insulation that actually fits
 

Has anyone used dynomat and then tried installing the pads as well? Do they fit and stay where they need to?

Thanks!

I used sound deadener on my fire wall and covered that with a pad from GMC Pauls. It worked like I expected, very well. I opted to to use SS button head bolts to secure the pad, but that was just for a fancier look from the engine bay. The OEM retainers would work fine to. They have more than enough reach to accommodate the extra thickness of the sound deadener and then some.
