I agree! I needed more length on my 16ga Trojan when I got it but I really liked the vintage Red Head pad it wore, so I judiciously sanded off the pad base and attached a spacer as a base. The pad was a bit oversized so it worked out. May not be appearance-perfect but it works for me.

When I bought my early Fox A Grade 12 the seller had a new old stock Hy Gun pad installed but it was brown. He also sent along the original red pad with a broken base. I liked the red pad so much better; I repaired the base with black epoxy, put it on the gun, and sold the brown pad.

And my Parker SC SBT still wears the not-correct Horse Shoe pad it had when I got it, including the Plexiglas spacer !
