Firewall pad installation???

[KevinW]

I took a look at my reference pics, it sure looks like the pad goes underneath the columns rubber boot, so I would say the hole is small, same diameter as column. My .02

When doing my resto, I only cut a small round hole for column to go through the pad, I did not remove that large section, no pics of that of course

Thanks for the pic. It almost looks like the large cutout was separated from the rest of the pad and then re-installed? I'm looking at the area just to the right of the brake bracket mount....the flap for that section is folded down exposing the jute backing.

Here's some pictures of my original. It's split at the top...Joe

Thanks Joe, that tells the story!

What paint or sealer did you put on your floors, that's the color I'm looking for on my floors and inner structure?

Just red oxide primer and 3m sealer that dries hard.

The only red oxide primer I found was a bit more orange. No response from anyone else. so I'll just go with what I have. Thanks, for the response.
