chev 15 no 12 cab: protective pad vulcanised to the inside roof

[Bob Carriere]

To the best of my knowledge all cab 11 and 12 had a molded piece of black foam rubber about 15 inches square....one inch thick glued to the roof panel. Whether it was actually needed or not I am not sure.

Will take exact measurements tomorrow in the barn and let you know.

To reproduce them I plan on glueing two 1/2 inch thick very firm black foam together than shaping the edges round with a power sander. Will then glue a fine linen over the finished side and paint the linen with semigloss black paint.

As anybody else got ideas for reproducing the foam pads???
