Interior under dash against firewall item?

This section was under the dash of my 1952 truck up against the firewall. Since I'm rewiring and rerouting some of the wiring many of these holes aren't needed and I'd like to find a new one, but I can't seem to find them online.

Any thoughts on what it's called or where I can find one?

Not the easiest thing to find quickly
Inner firewall cover is what Classic parts calls it

The Filling station calls it a Firewall insulator

I think it may also be called a firewall insulation pad

Re: Interior under dash against firewall item?

It may be persistence rather than knowledge this time. I' wasn't joking when I said that every vendor has a slightly different name for the same basic item.

With The Filling station I have found that a very basic and generic term and then scroll more often than not finds the item. I had to go to search with Classic parts as it was not in the section I thought it would be.

What should be real simple is actually more complicated than it needs to be.
