Under-dash shoddy pad

Post by 71Satellite98661 » Thu Mar 27, 2014 11:20 pm

Does anyone have any pictures of how the shoddy pad insulation was installed originally? (1971). I am just about ready to install the heater and A/C box. Would you use something like 3M Super 77?

Easier than I thought. I only sprayed the backside of the insulation and not the sheetmetal. The jute is somewhat stretchy and very easy to form around the contours of the firewall.
