Cardboard backing on heater box

[RDJ]

I am almost finished rebuilding my heater box. I was wondering what is good to use to replace the cardboard backing and where to get it? (see pic)

If I was going to use mine over again I was going to cut a piece of say 24ga sheet metal and use the same clips. I decided to go with classic air. Its a simple shape and a single bend, sheet metal will last forever. you can pick up a small sheet at home depot.

Give Jim a call... aside from being a great guy, he sells not only the heater box cardboard, but almost every gasket or seal for our cars. Support this man. He's "one of us". 8)

Not too bad. Take some pics before you take it apart.

I got the gasket kit from DMT. Good stuff. I didn't realize they had the backing also. Thanks.
