May be I've got the same package with kick-panel insulation? I have mine from Year One. This third piece goes directly under the driver side kick panel, between metal body frame and plastic moulding, covering the door hinge area. The one small screw, that holds the kick-panel, goes through it... I know that cause I kept the old one (when I had this new part in my fingers I've had the same idea to ask here in the forum where it goes to ). There is no "shape" that will fit this part and make it obvious where it exactly goes... it's some kind of "free flowing". On your pic it's upside down, the one corner off is because the park brake pedal. But the worse thing is, there is SUCH A PIECE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TOO, a fourth piece, which is not in the kit! IF my car had those insulation right before I took it off.
After all these years having a 440 I realized that this means having an attitude... and a budget.

Dont' really want to steal that thread but... Where are the ventilation control cables routed? Heat and defrost cable going THROUGH the column bracket? The driver side vent cable - goes OVER the bracket??

Here a pic. Looked for them again - they fit into the plastic kickpanels, both of them. And the small screw on each side goes NOT through the insulation (in my car they were not quite correctly installed) but they have a recess for that (you'll see the screw-hole, if you look carefully). I have absolutely no idea, why they sell this kit with only three parts and leave the fourth part away . I'll have to use the old one on the passenger side...

Does anyone have one of these missing pieces so I can create it?

Did anyone cure this issue? I just got a kit from Dante and I believe it only has 3 pieces. I haven't opened it yet so I could be wrong.

Hah ! Wouldn't be surprised if not... still three pieces, I bet! Oh boy: My car's still on jacks and is still not back on the road... shame on me! Haven't done anything for about two years...

Don't feel bad, I went about 10 years without working on mine. I am back at it now though, hopefully for the duration. I made a few commitments to have it at a few shows next summer so time to put up or shut up.
I could see the spare piece serving the purpose with a little modification, wont be the exact size but how many people are gonna see it in the first place.
