Anyone have any pictures of the firewall with the backpad removed that would focus on the places where the screws on the bottom would go into?

Was going to do carpet instead of the backpad, but having second thoughts, but between the sound deadening material, and the inner box kit, I'm wondering if those spots have been covered up, and so maybe that would help me to tell about where they were located. It might not be in my favor anymore to go back.

If you've got the OEM backpad just position it and center punch thru the existing holes.

why not just buy the 914rubber molded fiberglass piece & glue your carpet to it?

You may have weld the box kit over the holes. If so, put the pad in, grab a sharpie and drill. Use the correct bolt if you want, or be lazy and use a self tapping machine screw.

Make sure the pad is in good condition and sits up appropriately.

What kind of carpet were you planing to use? There are kits out there that use Perlon carpet which has more give. You may have a lot of forming and cutting to use real carpet.

Is this the part you are talking about?

We have the person for $25 That can be molded and glued in plac3 if you want just that.
Let me know.
Thx

Could you post a link to what you are talking about?

I have to get it listed up, but it’s a moldable section of person that can be cut to fit and glued onto the metal or plastic should you so choose.

Maybe Mark is trying to say "perlon" and it is getting autocorrected to "person".

As mentioned earlier ”There are kits out there that use Perlon carpet which has more give" .

I did the perlon on the new backpad cores in my car and I really like how it turned out. And I still have my light in the center.
This was me putting it in my build thread http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...587&st=580#

From a few days ago

Best view of it

Why is 914Rubber selling molded persons? Gotta love autocorrect.

I think you've gotten excellent suggestions and help here, but since my interior fell out (long story, starts with "...let me just take out that pedal cluster" and I think you know the rest) I snapped these.

Keep in mind that that the measurements are off slightly due to the 80 mil sound deadening applied. If you need more exact, happy to get those for you, but it sounds like your issue is resolved.

Pics show distance from inner rocker to each screw, then height from floor in other pic. Hope this helps.

I installed in my car several years ago. Fits really well over sound dreading material. Mike

Yes you can put the perlon over the sound deadening, but if the base you are putting it over is uneven it will show.

Picking up up tomorrow, and will take a closer look to see if the sound deadening material is on smooth, and go from there.

I don't need the light, as I just put in a rear view mirror with a map light.

Please note this item is for the leather skin covers only that can be glued over the original covers or replaces the old back pad rear wall covers

I wonder how that engine lid realease cable fits in there at? I don't see anyplace where it would go?
