I've already looked w/o luck for an answer regarding fit of the underbody heat-insulating blankets in the archives, AIM, Judging Manual, Service Manual, etc. Transmission is currently out of the car, so this is the perfect time to replace the old insulation. Just bought left and right hand insulation pieces from Paragon. Existing insulation looks like it was cut (what's left of it) and folded/tucked on top of the metal heat shields (between the metal heat shields and fiberglass foot wells under the car). This fold starts approximately at the front of the metal heat shield (closest to engine) and runs back towards the rear of the car for approximately eight inches. The new Paragon insulation pieces won't fit tight against the tunnel fiberglass and lower vertical firewall surface without a similar cut or fold. My questions are:
1) Were original insulation pieces cut or folded in anyway?
2) Are the Paragon pieces just poor reproductions for fit (too big)?
As always, thanks in advance for any information.
