Mike, The original material was installed before the outer skin, thereby entrapping it between the skin and inner brace. Restorers today must cut the material to fit like a jigsaw puzzle between the braces. I know a correct substitute material is available, someone else can tell you the name of it and where to get it.

Drake sells a pretty good reproduction of this material. He calls it "waffle weave insulation". You can piece it in as mentioned previously or if you are like me and want a beautiful (and authentic) job, remove the inner structure of the lid, install a full piece and reassemble the lid.
