The Pad Keeper...

...if you're like me, and you like things 'just so' with your classic car, this is definitely for you. Open up the rear boot lid and you'll see that the original sound proofing foam has sagged over the years, and like mine, is probably looking a little worse for wear. If this niggles you then David Etter's invention, The Pad Keeper, is a simple solution to tidy things up in your engine bay. Essentially it's a perfectly formed piece of plastic that sits against the foam and tucks up under the metal drip rail. It's even backed with some aluminium insulation to help further reduce sound and reflect heat. It's super easy to install with purpose made longer fasteners to replace the shorter factory ones. Before and After pics below. Neat! You can contact David on cmrdce@aol.com - he does them for all air-cooled 911s from '65 to '98.
