Default Source for Heater Box Foam?

I finally got tired of getting chunks of foam blowing out of the vents and took the plunge and removed the entire heat/air conditioning box. Does anyone have a good source for the foam that was used to line the various control flaps inside the heater box???
I must say, it was a lot of "fun" removing the entire dash and wiring.....

Try local upholstery shops. They may have some high density foam in the thickness you need.

Rod,
We have a place here in Mesa, Az that sells foam with different thicknesses and density. You can buy 4'' thick with one density and a 2" with more density. If you can't find what you need, drop me a PM and I will give you their address and phone number. Hope this may help!
The name of the place is called "Mesa Sales". You may be able to look them up on the net but not sure if they have a web site or not. I live only 5 miles away from them and will try to assist you if need be. Good luck!!!
Tommy
