Re: [ASC McLaren ] Under Hood Insulator Pad

Mostly resolved. I think the pad I got may have been cut for a 4cyl
car or the early pads were longer. Everyone with an 85-86 Capri
with either a V6 or V8 says that it only goes to the tabs. So I
just have to cut the pad down. No biggie.

However, if you have some pics of the pad and the cutouts envolved
(for the sticker, underhood light, etc) I would be very appreciative
since I would like to make the correct holes in the new pad. The
hole for the underhood light is a bit messed up on the original pad
I have and I'd like a picture of that area if you have one.

Thanks.

-Mike
