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...

Ha Ha.... You all are on notice that my final bid price is much more than the current cost of 2 brand new foam pads! 
I just ordered some motor mounts from a guy selling on the FS section of RL. He had the mounts listed for - I think - 2 months. I post to his stale ad that "PM sent". Just by doing that, he had 2 other parties that line up behind me. All of a sudden everyone needed Wevo mounts!

Fred, did you make that or can you buy it somewhere? I saw a thread a couple of weeks ago where someone made one out of 1" x 1/8" aluminum. I spent about 2 hours last weekend with the aluminum piece, a drill, a hacksaw and a baseball bat.
I finally gave up and threw the aluminum piece away. I bought another this weekend, but your retainer looks much nicer.

I removed my engine sound pad, soon after I got the car, and have never missed it. It weighed 5lbs...
tj90, just noticed your avatar. That's hilarious. Is that a t-shirt?

I like that aluminum piece as well. I might try to custom form it as well.

Matt, I made it from a piece of 2024 T3 Aircraft aluminum because it holds it's shape well. It is .040 I believe, I made a pattern from cardboard to follow the rear contour. The rear edge has a slight bow to it. I found 1/8" was too hard to work with. Also I wanted to follow the contours and go beyond the hinge. I should have saved my pattern. When I made it, I posted pix and said I would make a pattern if anyone was interested, but no one responded.
Where are you located? I have some aluminum left and we could make you one if you are close. If enough people want one, I could take it off and make a pattern, but it would have been easier before I put the engine back in. Shoulda, woulda, coulda...it'll get you every time. I should have made a pattern.
