Default Hood Pad for 68 GTO

Hi,
Which vendor has the best hood pad for a 68 GTO.
The repo that I bought has pulled through the clips on the passenger side, seems a bit short and keeps coming away from the front edge. It also had a cutout that is not needed for a standard engine (Non-Ram Air) or hood mounted tach.
Thanks,
Mike

I forget wherwe i got my pad, but it has some cutout that I never clould figure out. One thing I found is the repro clips I got were junk and would not stay pushed in. I re-used most of my old ones so use care taking them off.

Make sure you get the rigid, molded one, it's pretty much identical to the original. I believe all of the vendors sell the same one. I got mine from PY several years ago, still looks great.
