    Does anyone have a source for the insulation (foam??) on the bulkhead between the engine compartment and the cabin. Parts book shows a cover on the engine side of this material, part no 0200477, was this fitted to '73 gts models as well?

    Check McMaster-Carr online. They are in Atlanta and have a huge selection of foam sheets of various specfications. I got some for the rear bulkhead and under the belly pan.

    Get me some thickness specs and I can get it from the same guys we buy 1/4" heat resistant foam in rolls from. Good to 350 degrees or so. Doesn't degrade, I've used it to replace the foam under my headliner, and it worked great.

    Thanks for that Dave
    Problem is I need help in getting a thickness as I dont have anything at all to look at. Also does anyone know if the foam has a "surface" to it as on later 348's etc which was presumably to make it more oil resistant.
    If anyone has an original on a GTS please try to mail a photo. I keep stressing gts as it is different because of the cross bracing.
    Thanks

    Just curious -

    If the original was asbestos, will FCA judges deduct points?
