some discussion here:

No one repros them today, but there are some hardboard/thin plywood panels for sale that are cut and marked well. I can't find them at the moment in the classifieds, though.
EDIT: you beat me to it, there it is!

In my 71 Notch I used some sisal padding and some hard cardboard that wrapped some polished stainless steel from work (it was headed for the dumpster). Worked great. On my 65 Notch, I used a hot water heater blanket to cover the floor (including the hatch cover). It's been in there since 2002. I have a piece of late model trunk carpet that I cover it with.
