I advise against the aftermarket foam insulation with the foil surface. The foil has a tendency to separate from the foam after some time.
Thanks - I wasn't sure if going back that far they had the 90 degree position...

Absolutely on the aftermarket pads. The best quality ones are simply black foam, and the material is designed for the sort of temperatures that are present under the hood. I don't have one of these cars right now, but I would certainly see if the OE pad is still available (please don't laugh at me for suggesting it - I'm not current on what might still be available from MB.)
