Tony, I too have an unmolested by a DPO TR4A and it has what remains of the
same patch but long since deteriorated to just a patch of the cement they used
to attach it years ago. I have a spare hood around here, I'll need to see if
it has the patch too. I'd be interested in what you find out.

Subject: Pad under TR4A hood
Mt quite original TR4A which is undergoing resoration had a fiber pad which
measured 2" diameter and about 5/8" thick attached
to the underside of the hood directly over the thermostat housing. (I
suppose to protect the hood from excessive shake and striking
the housing). My pad is very deteriorated. Does anyone know more about
these pads?
What are they made of? Mine seems to be a very compressed natural fiber
with laminated layers about 3/16" thick. Where can I get something
similar?
