That is a well made pad but are you sure it's OEM? Just curious and it's a good price regardless. I'm not near my pig or I would look but I recall that pad being much stiffer than that and without all those stitching lines. Again, I could be completely wrong.

It is certainly 1972 OEM. Thanks, Dennis

Thanks. Yes it looks like they went from that pleated design to a smooth, stiffer design after 1975. I had never seen one of the pleated ones. Again, very nice and in great condition.

I will check my 1975 and report back on which style it has. Dennis

11/75 is the newer version that you mentioned. Dennis

Looks like what’s left of mine (1974)

Maybe our friend @jestlurnin would trace it for you and take a few seam measurements? It looks like a very easy part to replicate if you have the pattern. I'm sure those boys down south could whip one out pretty quickly.

If I was making one I would use this product, or something similar, instead of plain automotive jute:

Heat Wave Pro™ - Jute Thermal Insulation

Two layers of reflective foil insulation surround a treated jute core to form a flexible and durable automotive heat shield and sound insulation barrier.

Just cover with black vinyl and sew in the edges and seams.

I’d be happy to take measurements when it rolls in. Stay tuned.

Nice Snag, I would also be interested in doing something along the lines of Greg's ideas.

Still looking for one? I’m about done parting a 75 pig but this piece is in there. If I can remove the heater…..

Yup! thanks!
