1969 N14 side exhaust rear frame insulation

Does anyone have a photo of the rear frame insulation used on side exhaust cars.

Re: 1969 N14 side exhaust rear frame insulation

When I did my '69 N14 adaption on my '70, I had the attached AIM sheet, and using that, this is what it looked like. I'm not sure this was 100% correct, and I too am interested in what the original factory install detail was for the 1969 N14.

Re: 1969 N14 side exhaust rear frame insulation

When I inquired several folks who owned original '69 w/ N14, several indicated that the insulation had disintegrated over the years. One restoration shop told me that I should fiberglass over the area to protect it. It would seem odd to me to have the factory just leave the foam insulation exposed like that in such a vulnerable area, but the AIM appears to be silent on any cover or protection post modification. (from my '70 AIM with the lead sheet having the word "CANCELED" stamped over it.)

My car is a original N14 car with only 23K miles and I was the first to take the body off. The insulation on the frame rails was there but these pieces were not.
