Default Hood Insulation

Does anyone make a reproduction of the under hood insulation for a 73? If not does anyone sell something close to the original style?

None of these are even close to original. Dr rebuild makes the closest but even that is off

Mine was an exact copy - - laid the old grimy one over the new one to make the holes, then refinished the discs after cleaning and painting the underside of the hood and rebuilding the cowl door.

Easy and inexpensive clean up.

Check with your chevy dealer. I just got a NOS last year from my local dealer. He ordered it from another dealer in California. I had to pay extra for the shipping but I got a new original under hood insulation from GM. I also got a new GM rag joint from my local dealer.

Where did you get the exact copy and does it have all the correct indents?
