Mine started to hang a little so while finishing the plug wires, I decided to rip it out. BTW was your car white or all red cars have white engine compartment???

Nice job!
Am I correct in observing that the new pad is held in place by a number of plastic bungs?
I replaced the pad in my old 911S about 10 years ago, and it was entirely held in place by glue ... which made for a horrible job to remove it, and even worse to re-install and make it look neat.

The glue I used is 3M Super 77. Its a spray can of contact cement available at most hardware stores.

Thanks guys for the perfect time to bump this thread! Engine and trans are out so hoping I can get APPBIZ to do a 'buy it now' and ship one of their ultimate kits to UK.

Can we all have a gentlemans agreement to not get into a bidding war on ebay for the aftermarket pad??? 
Im the only one bidding on this and it would be bad karma to snipe a fellow rennlister! My understanding is that this seller has stock but lists one at a time. Hes been doing this since April (if you look at the boeing thread).
Now I wish I did what KLR wants to do and just call the seller and do a buy it now. Waiting a week stinks...
