Wanted: A Roll of Diamond Pattern Firewall
« on: March 09, 2023, 02:33:07 »
Would any of you know of a supplier of Diamond Pattern Firewall insulation pad material that sells it uncut so I can by it by the metre or yard (depending on your measurement system)?
To be precise, I am not looking for eBay or other suppliers versions that are pre-cut, I am looking for long pieces that I can tailor to my cars needs. Buying bulk may also be of interest to other Pagoda owners looking to restore or upgrade theirs.
Any help with a name or link would be appreciated, thank you, Dave

Here is one supplier:

https://vintageeuroparts.com/diamond-pattern-firewall-pad-material-for-w121-w110-w111-w113.html

You might also check with Buds Benz - they show the firewall pad with cut out, but they may be able to sell the uncut material.

Exactly what I need. If there are any other suggestions, please send them my way.

Any suppliers in Australia would be seriously appreciated as the postage is almost the same price as the item from US to Australia 😂

Dave if you want to order two pieces i will halve the cost with you on the order and save on shipping then all i need to do is pay from SA to Vic.

George gives 10% on Pagoda group orders in past.

Great idea Garry. I may even drive across and meet you halfway 😂

Let me check on the diameters (length x width) required for two cars. I am sure someone on this group who could tell us.

Plus also give others a chance to chime in as there may be a better, or closer, solution from a supplier in Australia?
