I will sometime soon replace the missing sound pad from my car and had not thought much about what pad until I saw a recent sound pad post for 69-70 ish with the dimpled pad (ED Mayo post).
What is correct pad for a 72?
Pictures?
Source?
Thanks!

There is no "correct" pad available for a '72 right now. But Eric says he's working on it...

I've spoken with Bob @ Appbiz and he's recommended the "Deluxe" pad as being close to the original. I'm sure he won't mind me pasting part of an email here:
"It is very heavy duty black dense foam with a skin. This is not a glued on skin it is the actual crust that forms when the foam is poured into the mobile home sized mold. We have the foam company cut the crust to our specs and ship it to us where we die cut it with a 100 ton press. The beauty of this skin is that it can never delaminate, become water or oil logged and doesn't fall out in chunks. We think it's the pad the factory should have made."
I'm ordering one on Monday and will let y'all know how it is. My original pad has a few cuts etc in it and I'm going to do an engine drop next week. This will be one of my "while yer in there" projects.

I've installed to Appbiz soundpad and it's nice. The only thing is it doesn't have the textured "circle" pattern as the original. That said its a very nice pad and works great!!
Fortunately for us the later style pads in 72-73 didn't have the dimples like the earlier ones.
What did you use to glue it in Edric?
Like the night shot in my driveway. Looks familiar
