Does anyone know what the firewall material consists of?
Not asbestos I hope.
My glove box radio fit so tight against the pad that I removed my glove box radio and plan to cut the Firewall Pad out to allow the air vents in the rear of the radio to allow cooling of the hot tube radio set. There appears to be three layers to this Pad. Also I can use the Pad from behind my radio to patch the holes in my Pad where a heater used to be.
Putting in these Old radios is really a lost art...You have to reinvent the technique all over again.
