Joe,
The replacement pads I've purchased from BPNW had the yellow foam and
were indistinguishable from the originals to me, and I'm fairly picky.
The salesman at BPNW said there was only one manufacturer of these
pieces and that his were sourced from the same place TRF, Moss and VB
buys theirs. This was 2 years ago, so things may have changed, but it
doesn't seem to make financial sense to have several manufacturers of
such low production parts.
