Firewall pad question

[Russell Ashley]

My firewall pad pretty much disintegrated when I tried to remove it so I need to replace it. Brother's has them advertised for $49.95, while BowTie Bits has an ABS one for almost three times that much. I like the idea of the ABS but wonder how much trouble it would be to get into place, and also how exact the fit is. Considering price, I'd just as soon go with the Brother's original style if it looks and fits like the original. Has anyone used either of these two, or suggest a different source?

the original was for sound deadening and some heat relief. abs will not do either. I am using insulating foil and running the carpet up over it for heat and sound abatement.

Thanks's OG. I'm keeping the rubber floormat so using carpet isn't going to work for me. I would expect that the ABS pad would come with some kind of padding to help with the heat and noise but if not you could use the foil behind it. I think the Brothers pad comes with the insulation like an original but I'd like to hear from someone who has used it to get their opinion on it.
