Hi Gerald,
The felt that lines the heater/tool box area on our 405 is still the original material, it is the same as what is used to line the boot. It is dyed black and quite fibrous, I have included a general photo of it on our 405.
Concerning the placement of the wiring loom, I am including a photo taken of another 405 that underwent an extensive rebuild that shows the loom attached to the frame with the front of the car removed - what a handy way to work on a 405 !! The same person also had easy access to his heater box as the firewall had been removed as part of the restoration of the car. Photo also attached.
If need be I could send you a small sample of the felt should you need it.
Cheers
Pete
