    Engine Sound Pad (~1970 and up)

    In search for a correct 72 engine sound pad I bumped onto material to make a couple myself.
    I used the current porsche supplied foam versions for the pattern. That was the only thing I had at hand to work from. The material I made them from is the jute with PVC like the ones used from around 70 and onward. I believe the outer material grain is pretty close to what was used in 72.
    These are all hand cut, so don't expect a factory perfect stamped one. It took me about an hour each to mark and cut. Add material cost and shipping cost to the US and you know I'm not getting rich making them. I only have 5 to spare.

    $165 shipped to the US. (Price adjusted due to higher shipping and material cost)

    Looks pretty good. I assume you've seen the photos I posted of an original 1972 sound pad on another thread. The 72 sound pad was Gray and had a basket-weave pattern on it.

    In your post you state that there was foam on the back. If that was the padding itself, I wonder if it was a 72 pad.

    In this tread, a 70's was with Jute on the back:
