[GreenKeys] 28 Felt Pads

[Bruce Gentry]

Some possibilities are the neoprene foam sheet used as insulation on air 
conditioning equipment. A person on this group once suggested cutting 
replacements from yoga pads.  Another possibility is fiberglass ceiling 
tiles, wrap the pieces in thick polyethylene sheet and tape the seams to 
avoid skin irritation and fibers getting into everything. If you want 
actual felt, try an auto scrapyard.  Felt is often used under floor mats 
and behind interior panels in vehicles. Try asking a shop that repairs 
seats in vehicles, they may have the felt as well.  I am somewhat 
concerned about the orginal felt pieces, they likely contain a good 
amount of dripped oil and can be a fire hazard. In the Air Force I saw a 
28 ASR start to go up when a tobacco addict dropped  cinders onto the 
pads. A blast from a fire extinguisher put it out, but the cleanup and 
wiring repairs took a couple days.
