urethane one amounts to a solid rubber pad. You will see some air bubbles holes from the casting procress in the surface.

A BEA Parts A-body vinyl molded over a foam core with steel center is like how the originals and how new car pads are made. They look very close to NOS pads. There was a side by side detail picture thread in the new products section when they just came out.

Bottom line, it's a no brainer to buy the BEA Parts original type 69-76 vinyl pad.

The BEA pad is really nice how ever I cheaped out and bought a dash cap from Dantes parts and Im very happy with it. No one has even noticed its a cap yet.
