How as the original padding attached?  I'm wondering about this
Sonic-X that Robert Lilley brought to our attention.  Seems like a
nice sound-proofer, a nice fire-barrier, and a nice heat shield.   If
the original padding was attached on with bolts or something, should
be easy.  Otherwise, I would have to look at some type of glue, maybe
this foam that Gnarlie used.

Well, something to ponder while I'm on vacation.  I'm taking a plane
this time, not the van.  :-(
