Don't be silly, Dave. Mice get the same size passports as everyone else. Then they make nests out of the paper.

Don’t forget that gear shift linkage box ( remember the great video?)

Never have had any mice...............that I know about.................yet. When the weather warms, I'll do the front air intake and the shift lever.
When the heater box is taken apart to replace the blower, then I'll know if there were mice. Never had any smell.

| Has anyone considered using 3M Thinsulate instead of the prodex? Seems like prodex is useless unless it has air on either side of it. So once it's covered by a fabric or carpeting what's the point in using it at all? |

Prodex "works" by being an Infrared reflective barrier. it reflects IR whether covered or not. The closed cell foam inside the IR outer layers limits thermal transmission. It is the IR reflective property that does the most to keep warm or keep cool

I insulated my concrete block garage with 1" Poly-iso glued to the block inside, it is amazing how that thin barrier has changed the garage climate!
I know it is rigid but it is also surprisingly flexible and does not support combustion. The 1/2" is quite flexible and you can layer it.

That clamp is a nice solution. My cluster is broken too. I'll have to look into that or a similar solution.
