Hi Mark,

That must have been the same tip I saw.  However, try finding a smoker 
blanket in So. Cal.  They look at you like:  "What turnip truck did you 
just fall off?"  The late Dick Brill was kind enough to send me two from 
MN at $3 each, as I remember.  That was enough to do the whole driver's 
side and the transmission tunnel.  They really work.  Even with our heat 
down here, I can drive all day bare foot!  They are thicker than the <" 
the original poster was looking for, though.
